Blue Line, Eragy provide utility HEM without smart meters

Blue Line Innovations and Eragy have formed a partnership to deliver home energy management (HEM) solutions to consumers, energy-efficiency professionals and utilities. The combination of Blue Line Innovations' PowerCost Monitor and Eragy's energy software platform enables the delivery of energy monitoring and intelligent demand management solutions regardless of meter type.

The combination of the PowerCost Monitor and myEragy scalable PRO platform enables utilities to rapidly deploy the first phase of consumer energy monitoring programs without the need for smart meters.

"We have demonstrated the Blue Line - myEragy PRO solution to several utilities already and the response has been terrific," said Peter Porteous, CEO of Blue Line Innovations. "Utilities can now implement a full suite of demand and load control initiatives without any change to their existing meter infrastructure. This allows smaller utilities, co-ops, or those utilities not yet ready to make a significant grid/meter upgrade capital decision to deploy effective peak load shed and overall consumption reduction programs."
