Energy & Demand Optimization

Edo partners with utilities to optimize commercial buildings into virtual power plants, leading the transition to a decarbonized future.

Our Partners

The Edo Story

Edo, launched in 2021, was born out of the collaborative efforts of McKinstry and Avista, corporate leaders on both sides of the electricity meter. Inspired by their joint development of South Landing, a grid-interactive campus, Edo seeks to reimagine the relationship between commercial buildings and utilities in a decentralized, decarbonized world.

What We Do

Edo works with commercial building operators to optimize operations and occupant comfort, cut energy use and carbon emissions, and drive cost savings. Edo transforms commercial buildings into dynamic, flexible assets. We aggregate commercial buildings into virtual power plants (VPPs), providing electric utilities with demand flexibility to respond to the evolving energy landscape.

Real results

AI-powered automation reduces manual work while optimizing energy use and cutting peak demand by up to 15%.

Lower costs

Our solution works with your existing systems to improve reliability, efficiency, and lower costs.

Seamless demand flexibility

Adjusts energy use in real time to support grid stability while maintaining occupant comfort.

Utilities

Edo partners with utilities to design and scale demand flexibility programs that reduce peak load and defer infrastructure investments.

  • Improve grid reliability and resilience
