GridGlo LLC, a startup specializing in data fusion and the development of smart grid applications, has publicly launched the company and a first-of-its kind platform for turning disparate energy data into solutions for utilities.

GridGlo's new cloud-based, platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution aggregates petabytes of advanced metering infrastructure data and analyzes it by applying proprietary algorithms and advanced data fusion processes. Data fusion is the science of combining disparate sources of data to develop inferences and continually refine them. GridGlo enriches usage data with consumer behavioral, demographic and premises-specific information, providing new ways for utilities to drive customer engagement and forecast, segment and monetize their market opportunities.

One of the first applications GridGlo has developed with this approach is the Energy People Meter (EPM), a FICO-like score for energy consumers. An EPM score is a real-time digital fingerprint of a customer's energy behavior. EPM scores range from 1 to 1000, with a higher score reflecting a user who consumes energy efficiently, has predictable consumption patterns, and is actively improving his or her energy consumption behavior.
