PORT WASHINGTON, WIS. — Franklin Energy, a leading provider of energy efficiency and grid optimization solutions, announced today the company has been awarded a contract to support Xcel Energy’s Energy Feedback Demand-Side Management Program.
The Energy Feedback program provides targeted communication of energy-use comparisons and information, called the Home Energy Report (HER), to Xcel Energy’s residential customers, providing specific recommendations and feedback to motivate and educate customers on how to reduce their energy consumption. The program will support Xcel Energy through their AMI service launch, an initiative that will further optimize HER personalization. Xcel Energy will be providing these services across their service territories in Minnesota, Colorado and New Mexico, starting January 2020 and serving over 870,000 customers.
Franklin Energy will work with Xcel Energy to expand customer engagement strategies with solutions from the company’s NGAGE™ technology suite, including home energy reports, a customer engagement platform and an online trade partner locator. These new tools will broaden customer energy savings through effective behavioral changes. Xcel Energy can offer immediate functionality leveraging advanced metering infrastructure and scale over time as needs change.

We look forward to supporting Xcel Energy with a fully-integrated platform that serves as their customers’ number one energy resource.”
