- Rolling blackouts in June 2000
- Demand outstripped supply
- Needed immediate solutions to
prevent further blackouts

- California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Art Rosenfeld led a call
for “Demand Relief” programs
- OBMC – optional binding mandatory curtailment
- EPRI, Silicon Valley, Cisco, HP, IBM, others participated to
show that they can shave off 10MW out of 100MW
- How?
- Lighting, Air conditioning, Refrigeration, others

99% of time: no bidding devices use electricity as normal 1% of time: bids clear into CAISO When wholesale energy prices spike, Ohmconnect automatically turns down non-critical IoT loads in homes. These reductions can occur in increments as short as 15, so personal comfort is not an issue.

“Ohmconnect's innovation is combining the micro-information from my personal energy use in my home with the macro-information of energy production and distribution to make better decisions and usage for society, the environment and for me personally. It doesn't get better than that.”
- Stephen Schwerdweger, Palo Alto CA
"Getting paid to reduce my environmental footprint? Count me in."
- Adam Foster, Concord CA
"The easiest home energy analysis tool out there. I especially like the way it can automatically reduce my energy consumption during periods of high usage (or cost) and in most cases I don't even notice. If everyone started using it, we would be able to stop using expensive and dirty "peaker" plants.”
- John Overstreet, Los Altos, CA
