Facilitate Microgrid Collaboration

Tomorrow’s homeowners want solar panels installed on their rooftops. By allowing your community to participate as part of a microgrid and giving them the tools to do it efficiently, you’re increasing the value of energy for all your consumers.

With a large group of participants collaborating and a microgrid control system implemented, your community can begin sharing energy amongst themselves and making the most of your valuable resources.

TechConnect can facilitate a microgrid solution that makes it easier and cheaper to produce power, forecast load, and fully integrate renewable energy.

Support & Create a Fully Connected Culture

With tools that help consumers understand their energy habits, your customers can view and adjust their usage anytime, anywhere. As a utility, you’ll be giving your consumers a sponsored application that lets them monitor consumption from major appliances, including their air conditioner, hot water heater, and refrigerator.

Armed with this information, your community becomes just as intelligent as your grid. Households want to control their costs, and TechConnect’s Field Area Network solutions allow them to do this while decreasing your demand during peak usage times.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Implementing a Field Area Network solution with TechConnect enables your utility and your community to take full advantage of renewable energy sources. In addition to managing the flow of data and electricity for green energy, you’ll also be consuming less fossil fuel with fewer truck rolls.

Meanwhile, your consumers are practicing more efficient usage via the energy management applications you’ve provided. All this adds up to a reduced carbon footprint across the board, for both your utility and your community.

Bring Broadband to Rural Communities

When you utilize a Field Area Network solution, you also provide the critical infrastructure for broadband communication within your community. In addition to supporting various applications for your utility, broadband allows your consumers to access the same high-speed wireless internet as urban households.

Without this infrastructure in place, most private providers won’t see delivering service to rural areas as an economically viable choice. As a utility, you can form a valuable partnership to deploy and share this network, making a smart choice for your business and your community.
