🌟 BIG news! 🌟 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Consumers Energy with a $20M grant to deploy our Karman platform in nearly 20k electric meters! DOE's continued investment in AI solutions is critical to creating a cleaner, more reliable grid and Consumers Energy is leading the way. This project, matched by $20M from Consumers, will focus on EV integration and managed charging programs enabled by distributed AI at the grid edge. Through this project, Utilidata and Consumers are partnering with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, GM Energy, and EPRI - forging collaboration between utilities, research organizations, and the auto/EV industry to tackle the challenge of vehicle-grid integration. Congratulations to Consumers Energy! https://lnkd.in/dX-NNUpy
