Problem
Many electronic devices consume power without considering the carbon intensity of the electricity grid, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions than necessary. The lack of real-time data on grid emissions prevents devices from optimizing their energy consumption based on the cleanest available energy sources.
Solution
WattTime provides data and tools that enable devices and organizations to reduce their carbon footprint by shifting electricity usage to times and locations with lower emissions. The company offers real-time and historical data on marginal and average CO2 emissions, as well as health damage metrics, covering over 200 countries and territories. This emissions intelligence allows for load shifting, optimized renewable energy siting, and supply chain decarbonization, empowering users to make informed decisions about their energy consumption and procurement. By integrating WattTime's data signals, electric vehicles, thermostats, and other flexible technologies can automatically adjust their power usage to align with periods of cleaner energy availability.
Target Audience
WattTime's primary customers include energy providers, smart device manufacturers, and organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint through data-driven energy management strategies.
