We sat down (on Zoom) with Future Grid’s Co-Founder & CEO, Chris Law! Future Grid enables the renewable grid of the future to deliver safe and reliable electricity. In this episode of energenius, Chris shares about the direct impact Future Grid makes on customer safety as well as its bigger-picture impact on a sustainable future, talks about how Future Grid enriches SAP data to help utilities customers turn smart meter data into improved asset management and grid reliability, and discussed Future Grid’s evolution from a small consulting business to a leading software company.
Customer Success
“One client had incidents on their network where customers were shocked and injured by faults with electricity in their homes. They worked with Future Grid to improve reliability and safety for customers, proactively detecting these incidents using smart meter data, often before the customer was aware that the issue was happening.”
Standing Out from the Competition
“We realized that there is a lot of talk about the customer generating their own electricity, but there was little acknowledgement or understanding of the adverse impact it was having on the energy ecosystem, particularly in terms of polls and wires. Future Grid uses data so that utilities can install more renewable energy into the grid and manage these new technologies and ecosystem players in a sustainable way.”
Working With SAP
“What SAP does for our customers is help specifically with asset management and ERP. Future Grid is using a new kind of data to enrich that, so utilities can better manage the renewable transition and its safety. The outputs of what we produce goes into SAP systems, so we can leverage solutions to create better outcomes for customers on a global scale.”
