Utilities Need More Than a DRMS

While Power TakeOff does not operate as a DRMS or VPP orchestration platform, we support critical stages of the customer journey: identifying, ranking, engaging, coaching, and retaining the right customers for successful load flexibility programs.

We pair full customer AMI and account data — for all customers, not just program participants — with contact and firmographic discovery (e.g., building type) to build complete customer profiles for program targeting.

Our AMI-driven intelligence platform helps utilities:

  • Understand total market flexibility potential
  • Prioritize customers by DR and VPP value
  • Improve enrollment and retention rates
  • Deliver personalized demand flexibility coaching
  • Reduce peak demand and increase grid reliability
  • Validate performance with utility-grade M&V
  • Complete customer profiles across all customers (not just participants), built from AMI data, contact discovery, and firmographics (e.g., building type)

A Complete DR & VPP Customer Intelligence Workflow
