It's easy to integrate our algorithm into your existing refrigerator line. Benefits like improved reliability and an extra income come standard
IOU's

One stop integration for Independently Owned Utilities means better utilization of curtailed energy generation assets to keep costs down

Consumers

The best technology is something you never have to think about. We make it easy to save money and keep your electric rates lower

About Us

Our cold battery technology is a patented (US9316431B2) universal self-tuning algorithm for refrigerator micro-controllers that automatically pre-cools the freezer section during off-peak grid load by lowering it a couple of degrees F.  This allows us to turn off the compressor and other energy intensive activities during peak grid load while it slowly warms back up to the original customer set point, and we can do this for the morning and afternoon grid energy peaks every day of the year.

01 Design Simplicity

This algorithm works on just about any consumer refrigerator and doesn't need to know any specifics about compressor efficiency, thermal efficiency, environmental factors, freezer mass or consumer usage.  It learns as it goes!

02 Global Warming

When fully implemented in California we can reduce CO2 emissions by 8,500 metric tons each day by utilizing renewable energy instead of gas generating plants. This is the equivalent of 690,000 cars driven for a year!

03 Renewable Ready

Out technology reduces peak load when solar stops producing at dusk and provides a load for curtailed night wind and daytime solar generation. It's predictable and reliable load shifting every day of the year makes it easy to schedule.

Our Team

We are are energy industry, technology and infosec veterans ready to make a difference in CA by permanently shifting 18,000 MWh daily!

History

What started as a nascent idea several years ago is now funded by a CalSEED grant through the California Energy Commission.

Management

Our overarching management principle is to keep costs low in everything we do for all Californians, regardless of location or income level.

Career

Right now we are in the Concept development phase, but we will be looking for great candidates as we get closer to implementing business operations.
