Over Two Decades of Smart Energy Management
While the industry has only recently begun to understand the benefits of VPPs, DERs and microgrids, we have been successfully managing them for over 20 years.
Forging an innovative path in 2002, we started our journey by using freezers as batteries – a concept that came to inspire the name, Icetec. Since that time, we’ve continuously evolved and advanced our predictive analytics and optimization platform with a comprehensive tech stack for sophisticated DER management, with the integration of critical data, such as weather, markets, and grid conditions. As a result, our customers can now automatically ensure optimal energy efficiency and operational performance, without human intervention.
Today, more than 200 MWs are managed by our SaaS platform from over 40 customers, including blue-chip clients across pharma, Ivy League education, top C&I companies, and utilities.
Our technology enhances ROI for DER investors and asset owners by automatically stacking revenue opportunities and maximizing operational efficiency – without human intervention. Using our platform, customers have achieved impactful results, including:
- 5-10% reduction in energy use
- 15-20% increase in operational savings
- Over 50% improvement in asset efficiency
- Over $100K in added revenue
This is why 5, 10, 20 years later – our customers are still using our platform.
With unmatched experience and a proven record of success, Icetec is on a mission to help industries and organizations make smarter energy decisions.
