Standard "Utility" lists are 90% manual meter-readers and local water co-ops. Our AI agents verify DERMS interoperability (OpenADR), VPP capacity metrics (MW), and behind-the-meter (BTM) APIs to find verified VPP Operators, Microgrid Control, and Edge Analytics.
Why firmographic filters miss the digital energy builders.
Targeting "Electric Services" returns thousands of businesses with zero dev budget. You need to know what they balance and how they peer.
If you are selling load-shedding AI, inverter-control SDKs, or utility cloud, you need the builders:
| Metric | Standard "Utility" List | Our ICP Database |
|---|---|---|
| Classification | Broad (SIC 4911) | VPP vs. Microgrid vs. Retailer |
| Tech Signals | None | OpenADR / IEEE 2030.5 Verification |
| Buying Center | Engineer | Chief Digital Officer / VP of Grid |
| Capacity | Unknown | Megawatt-Scale Load Signal Detected |
Target builders of the future of the decentralized grid.
Firms aggregating home batteries (Enphase/Tesla clones). Targets for cloud orchestration, IoT SIMs, and frequency response APIs.
Software for islanded energy systems. Targets for secure PLC gateways, real-time weather APIs, and power electronics gear.
Software for automated load-shedding. B2B targets for SMS/Email APIs and automated utility sync rails (OpenADR).
Commercial battery installers with proprietary tech. Targets for inverter firmware, BMS (Battery Management), and grid-sync APIs.
Designing hardware for grid-edge. Targets for specialized fab data, EDA tools, and high-frequency testing.
Predictive maintenance for lines and poles. Targets for high-res satellite imagery, lidar data, and visualization.
Blockchain-based power sharing. Targets for node infrastructure, localized tax databases, and settlement APIs.
Managing charge-load for utility health. Targets for telematics APIs, charging network data, and routing.
Protecting smart meters and DERs. Targets for threat intel feeds, secure IoT gateways, and secure staffing.
Regional accelerators (e.g. EPRI). Targets for portfolio data and deal-flow portals.
Software managing physical grid assets. Targets for satellite imagery APIs and localized geology data.
SaaS for pumped hydro and river assets. Targets for submersible sensors and localized mapping APIs.
Marketplaces for green power tags. Targets for financial reconciliation APIs and satellite audit data.
Software for citizen account mgmt. Targets for mobile SDKs, payment rails, and ID resolution.
Hardware owners for field wireless. Targets for antenna hardware and specialized data plans.
Predicting power demand at the edge. Targets for LLM compute, weather APIs, and macro-economic data.
Investing in automated energy assets. Targets for due diligence and M&A data.
Autonomous drones for wire inspection. Targets for vision AI training and ruggedized hardware.
Annotating sensor streams for AI. Targets for data labeling services and knowledge base tech.
Independent repair for industrial IoT gear. Targets for spare parts and service CRM.
In the decentralized power ecosystem, the "Protocol Mastery" and "Load Scale" define the buying center. A firm with proprietary OpenADR 2.0b Implementations and active Megawatt-Scale VPPs is a top-tier account.
We extract these "Power Signals" to help you find the builders.
If you sell a real-time frequency-response tool, filter for VPP startups with high traffic but no "Ancillary Services" or Grid-Balancing mention.
Pitch: "Unlock higher asset yield by moving your battery fleet to our automated frequency-response layer, verified against FERC standards..."
We distinguish between companies that sell panels and companies that code the grid.
This ensures you don't waste time on a local solar installer that happens to have a "Tech" category on their blog.
