The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to PowerScout to develop the functionalities for PowerScout ConnectTM and PowerScout TargetTM and demonstrate their ability to reduce customer acquisition costs through big-data analytics and easy-to-use, customer-facing software.

The proposed activities would include computer modeling, data science and analysis, website design, and online product development. The proposed project would use no physical materials beyond basic office supplies and hardware. Work for the proposed project would take place at the kWh analytics offices in San Francisco, CA.
