GridX and Recurve have partnered to enhance utilities’ demand flexibility programs, enabling better design, targeting, and verification of rate structures like Time-of-Use and dynamic pricing. Their collaboration aims to address challenges in customer engagement and grid reliability, ultimately making demand flexibility a reliable resource for energy management.
Recurve, the demand flexibility platform provider, has raised $12.6 million from existing investors, including Quantum Capital Group. The round gives Recurve the financial flexibility and operational runway to meet growing market demand as the grid faces challenges associated with rising power prices, greater electricity demand, and ambitious decarbonization goals.
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 utilities, implementers, aggregators, and advisors.
AMI 2.0 is coming, but the grid can’t wait. Utilities can unlock measurable demand flexibility today by putting AMI 1.0 data to work—building trust now and strengthening the case for tomorrow’s investment.

Buildings play a crucial role in our clean energy future. We must electrify space and water heating to cut fossil fuel use and harness our increasingly renewable power grid. But the impact of electrification programs can vary widely depending on their timing and...
A recent report demonstrated high levels of support among customers and market aggregators for a new delivery model for demand flexibility. California's statewide Market Access Program (MAP), which utilizes an open-market program design, posted...
…and it's only getting more complex, with no end in sight. It’s time to embrace the “distributed” in Distributed Energy Resources. "The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." ― Andrew S. Tanenbaum Distributed Energy Resource...
The growth of energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR), building electrification, electric vehicles (EVs), and other behind-the-meter energy technologies promises significant environmental benefits, substantial savings for consumers, and vital grid stability for...
Recurve's real time measurement of electrification's impacts on the grid and customer bills showed that the top 25% of targeted customers were delivering nearly all summer peak energy savings. Summer peak reductions are critical for reliability, greenhouse gas...
Demand response is like a peak power plant. Energy efficiency is load following. Virtual power plants include both. Effectively integrating distributed assets into the energy supply mix requires understanding how they are analogous to traditional supply. ...
