Energate's smart thermostats bring demand response to Oklahoma

Following a pilot program, Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) is moving ahead with plans to launch a residential demand response program in 2012.

The initiative is aimed at reducing peak energy demand, as well as the need to build new power plants to meet demand. The utility will work with smart-grid firm Silver Spring Networks and demand response technologies provider Energate to roll out the program. Energate will supply smart thermostats through Silver Spring.

Energate’s in-home technologies let customers program their use preferences based on peak pricing signals sent from utilities. Some 40,000 residences are expected to see Energate’s smart thermostats and accessories installed as part of the 2012 rollout.
