FlexConnect specializes in transforming commercial and industrial refrigeration systems, particularly within supermarkets and cold storage facilities, into intelligent energy assets. Leveraging an advanced IoT-powered solution, the company enables these facilities to actively participate in electrical demand response programs. This innovative approach not only significantly reduces electricity costs for retailers but also plays a crucial role in enhancing grid reliability and resilience by providing valuable grid services.

The company's demand response solutions are designed to unlock new potential for commercial and industrial energy users, contributing to both economic savings and sustainability goals. By utilizing existing heating and cooling equipment, FlexConnect's onsite edge computing technology collects and analyzes operational data. It then optimizes these systems to effectively function as energy storage units, making their capacity available for the grid to utilize during peak demand or system stress.

Originating from the Avatar Innovations program with a focus on energy transition, FlexConnect addresses the critical need for sustainable energy growth while striving to maintain energy prices low, accessible, and the electrical grid reliable. This technology not only optimizes energy consumption but also creates new revenue streams for participating businesses.
