What We Do

Most of the activity underway in the transition to a Smart Grid is focused on the needs and perspectives of the government, of utilities, and of technology companies with new Smart Grid focus.

A looming challenge for all those helping in the Smart Grid transition is to find a way to engage those early adopters among the 125 million energy consumers in the US who are ready to install solar panels, make their houses and businesses more energy efficient, and change the way they consume electricity.

Recognizing the importance of consumer education, awareness, and engagement Ecomergence has crafted tools, methods and practices to stimulate energy consumer awareness and ensure that consumer interests are recognized during this transitional period.
