Tendril
What they do:
Tendril helps customers and utilities manage energy consumption. Its software gives customers a tangible sense of how much energy they’re using, and lets them measure their usage against their past performance, new goals, or other consumers. Plus, Tendril’s “smart-grid technology” means utilities balance energy demand better by actually communicating with their customers
Why it’s cool:
Energy-consumptions habits are a lot like healthy relationships: open, honest communication is key. After all, you can’t expect someone to improve if they don’t know what they’re doing wrong. By showing customers how much energy they’re actually using on a daily basis, Tendril gives them the opportunity to change their habits. Saving the environment, here we come!
