Problem
Energy communities and electric vehicle owners often face high electricity costs because demand peaks cannot be efficiently balanced across the local grid. Simultaneously, school districts manage bus fleets with suboptimal routing, leading to excess vehicles, higher fuel or electricity consumption, and increased operational expenses.
Solution
NGRsurf offers a unified software platform that coordinates electricity demand among households and electric vehicles within an energy community, enabling participants to achieve zero‑cost power through load shifting and shared resources. The same platform provides route‑optimization and real‑time tracking for school bus fleets, allowing operators to minimize the number of buses required while maintaining service quality. By integrating demand‑side energy management with transportation logistics, NGRsurf helps customers reduce energy expenses, lower emissions, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are energy community managers or utility aggregators seeking to balance local electricity demand, and school districts or private operators responsible for managing bus fleets and student transportation.
