Last year, Recurve began a new chapter.
With new leadership and a sharper focus, we built on our proven software foundation to give utilities and their partners what they’ve been asking for: a platform that is faster, more flexible, and dependable when performance matters most.
The result is Recurve’s FLEX, the first and only demand-side platform designed specifically for the people accountable for performance: utilities, implementers, aggregators, and advisors.
Built for the Work Ahead
Today, FLEX helps teams plan, execute, and settle demand-side programs across all types: energy efficiency, demand response, electrification, VPPs. It can forecast and segment load, help target and enroll the right customers, track performance as it happens, and deliver results that stand up to regulatory review.
Whether you’re launching something new or trying to make existing programs work better, FLEX provides a way to move faster, get clarity, and scale results.
Proven in the Field
With over 54 million meters under management nationwide, FLEX is already helping utilities keep power affordable, reliable, and sustainable:
Affordability: Delivering More With Less
- Multiple investor-owned utilities relied on FLEX to target the customers with the greatest impact, doubling or tripling results without increasing budgets.
- Another major IOU used FLEX to manage a $70M performance-based portfolio, with transparent tracking across multiple aggregators.
Reliability: Proving Performance Under Pressure
- FLEX’s methods have been validated by a major independent system operator, uniquely distinguishing persistent efficiency from elastic dispatch to enable accurate settlement and stacked value streams.
- FLEX also powered integrated efficiency and demand response markets for a large community choice aggregator, disaggregating long-term efficiency and load shifting from short-term event signals. The result: their largest demand-side investment to date.
Sustainability: Scaling Impact, Expanding Equity
- FLEX enabled a regional energy network to scale from fewer than 100 to more than 800 projects in two years, while tripling participation from hard-to-reach customers.
Across all deployments, FLEX-managed programs have averaged a 102% realization rate, exceeding expectations and earning the trust of utilities, regulators, and funding agencies.
Works with What You’ve Got
Interoperability is core to Recurve. FLEX integrates seamlessly with your systems or partners. Implementers use it to move faster and deliver stronger outcomes. Utilities use it to manage performance with confidence. Technology partners use it to extend their capabilities. For technology providers and OEMs, FLEX provides a trusted, independent layer that connects program design, customer behavior, and measurable grid outcomes, unlocking new ways to orchestrate distributed energy resources.
Why Now
Demand-side resources aren’t just helpful anymore, they’re essential. But to play that role, they need to be fast, measurable, and dependable. That’s what FLEX makes possible: it turns distributed customer actions into resources the grid can rely on. Whether you’re accountable to a regulator, a board, or a reliability standard, FLEX gives you evidence, not estimates.
If you’re already working with us, thank you. You’ve helped build this. If you’re just getting to know Recurve, there’s never been a better time to take a closer look.
