Demand Response & Load Management

Balance load shedding with customer comfort.

Demand Response

Demand Response (DR) allows utilities to collaborate with customers to reduce peak load events through incentive programs and time-of-use tariffs. This involves implementing advanced strategies to lower energy consumption with minimal disruption to customers.

Load Control Smart Switches

Nexgrid's ecoSwitch products enables utilities to manage residential loads during peak demand.

Electric Vehicle Charging Optimization

Automates peak demand management for electric vehicle chargers.

Residential Power Generation

Empowers customers with generators to manage electricity during peak demand.

DR Load Forecasting

Nexgrid AI plays a crucial role in helping utilities and grid operators anticipate electricity demand fluctuations accurately. By analyzing historical data, weather patterns, economic indicators, and other relevant factors.

DER Management

Distributed Energy Resource management and control of solar panels, gas-fueled generators, electric vehicles and controllable loads, such as HVAC systems and electric water heaters.


Energy Management

Nexgrid's load control and demand response capabilities are key components of its advanced smart grid technology, offering utilities unmatched flexibility over energy consumption. Nexgrid AI enhances load control by analyzing real-time data and adjusting power demand dynamically, optimizing resource use during peak periods and grid constraints. This improves grid stability, reduces costs, and allows for proactive management. Nexgrid’s demand response engages customers in real-time, incentivizing energy reductions during peak demand. These innovations drive greater grid reliability and support a more sustainable energy future.

Event Scheduling

Nexgrid's Load Management Scheduler automates the scheduling and control of distributed energy resources (DERs) and demand response programs, optimizing energy distribution during peak demand. It enables utilities to intelligently manage load, improve grid efficiency, and reduce costs through real-time data and predictive analytics.

Potential Shed

Nexgrid accurately determines the potential load shed by analyzing real-time consumption data and forecasting demand, allowing utilities to assess and manage how much load can be reduced during peak times without impacting customer service.

Predicted Demand

Using advanced AI algorithms that analyze real-time data, historical usage patterns, weather forecasts, and other relevant factors to predict peak demand times.

What Nexgrid Customers are Saying

For over 16 years, Nexgrid has been delivering advanced metering and smart grid products. We highly value our customers' feedback as it enables us to continually enhance our products and provide superior services.

"With Nexgrid's real-time meter removal alerts, we were able to quickly identify meter tampering multiple times and in some cases, arrive on-site within minutes of the removal"

Ricky Alberson
Load Management Specialist Elizabeth City Public Utility

"Nexgrid is cutting edge, state of the art program. Other companies were using ''old school'' technologies or were significantly more expensive. Nexgrid takes us to the next level"

Bob Jolly
General Manager Marblehead Light Department

"Nexgrid's innovative smart grid detected a high-temperature alert at a meter, allowing us to respond proactively and address the issue before it escalated into a more serious problem. This real-time monitoring and early detection capability demonstrate the system's effectiveness in enhancing safety and preventing potential outages for our customers."

Terry Hale
Energy Utilities Technician New River Light and Power

"The Nexgrid system provides real-time alerts for our smart grid such as high temperature, voltage sags and swells, or transformer overloads. Additionally, it allows individual users to subscribe to notifications relevant to their needs."

Bob Petrozino
Superintendent St. Clair Borough Electric Light Dept

" Nexgrid's transformer monitoring has given us accurate load profiling data that we previously could only estimate. This capability has allowed us to identify both overloaded and underutilized transformers across the system. Best of all, this was achieved without the need for any additional hardware. "

Mike Parker
Director Smithville Electric System

"Nexgrid's system was instrumental during Hurricane Helene, delivering real-time updates on the distribution network. This allowed us to quickly identify and prioritize outage areas, efficiently dispatch crews and remotely verify power restoration."

Matthew Makdad
General Manager New River Light and Power
