GridPoint Central Overview
 
GridPoint Central® is the first online energy management portal to provide home and business owners with detailed information and control over their energy consumption and costs. Customers learn the most cost-effective time to run appliances and can create a personal energy profile to automatically manage energy according to fluctuating utility rates and consumption patterns.


Monitor Energy Consumption and Costs

GridPoint Central takes the mystery out of the relationship between energy usage and costs. By analyzing a utility rate schedule against a customer’s current and historical energy consumption patterns, customers are empowered with the information to cost-effectively use energy (e.g., the least expensive time to run high energy-consuming appliances). GridPoint Central also leverages historical energy consumption patterns to estimate the hours of backup power available in the event of an outage.

For customers who have integrated a renewable energy source, GridPoint Central tracks the amount of renewable energy produced, consumed by home or business, or sold to the utility. Additionally, customers receive easy-to-understand environmental data based on their renewable energy production efforts; for example, the carbon dioxide emissions avoided is equivalent to removing 100 cars from the road for a day.

Customers can subscribe to email alerts (e.g., a power outage has occurred), receive comprehensive energy reports on consumption, production and system performance as well as gain an aggregate view of several GridPoint appliances, essential for facility managers with multiple locations.

Reduce Energy Consumption and Cost

GridPoint Central enables customers to create a personal energy profile that automatically and cost-effectively manages energy based on consumption patterns and utility rate schedules. Customers may select to turn off high energy-consuming appliances when utility rates are high or when the home or business is unoccupied.


GridPoint Central’s personal energy profile is easy to use and can be created once or continually changed to allow customers to refine their energy usage. With one click (e.g., select winter, summer or vacation mode for water heater), customers can set their energy profile instructing the GridPoint appliance(s) to manage their energy. The result is worry-free energy management to reduce consumption and costs without disruption to lifestyle or business operations.
