Why it matters
Net-zero policies, urban densification, and consumer preferences for electrification are all increasing peak loads on your grid; specific nodes in your grid are likely already under severe pressure. In response to these trends, a whole host of new equipment online with varying degrees of quality and robustness, and zero coordination has joined the grid.
The Energy Processor
A CSA-certified panel replacement with integrated sensing and circuit coordination, engineered for seamless integration with solar, storage, and EV charging. Sub-second local controls enforce safety and distribution constraints, while cloud-based optimization enhances forecasting accuracy, portfolio performance, and program analytics.
- DER Platform for the home with modules for EV/Solar/V2G/Storage management
- DR-ready: peak shaving, load shifting, pre-conditioning
- Tariff-aware scheduling and bill optimization
- Can virtually enforce a lower service level on a home
- Ensures continuous local control, with or without connectivity.
Detailed architecture and protocol maps are shared under NDA.
How it works
Local controls continue during outages; cloud adds portfolio intelligence.
From World-Class Research to Real-World Grids
Born out of the University of British Columbia’s Power/Energy Laboratory and led by Dr. Martin Ordonez (Professor & Kaiser Chair), FUTURi transforms world-class academic research into practical solutions for Canadian utilities. Our technology blends advanced control theory, power electronics, and real-world grid validation—making electrification smarter, safer, and more scalable.
- Grounded in UBC’s globally recognized power research
- Proven through multi-home and utility pilot deployments
- Tested under real Canadian grid and climate conditions
- Designed with Utillity scale in mind
“Organized Electrification aligns customer devices with grid needs. It’s a faster, smarter path to capacity and resilience — using assets that already exist.”

What utilities get
By partnering with us, utilities can unlock new ways to manage demand, optimize infrastructure, and prepare for a distributed energy future.
01
Cut measured peaks
Shape and shift household loads to reduce peak load.
02
Avoid service upgrades
Avoid transformer, feeder, and service expansions.
03
Platform to Facillitate DERs
Turn solar, storage, and EVs into dispatch-able grid resources.
04
Enhanced Visibility
Utility-grade telemetry, events, and audit-friendly data flows.
Pilot‑ready.
FUTURi’s Organized Electrification pilot program is specifically designed for infill development where existing electrical infrastructure limits the number of homes you can build. Instead of each home competing for limited electrical capacity, we coordinate behind-the-meter controls to actively manage demand across a collection of homes. This lets developers build more homes on existing infrastructure while maintaining reliability and avoiding service level upgrade delays.
FAQs
How do pilots work?
We co-design feeder- or neighbourhood-level pilots with your ops and planning teams, then orchestrate participating homes for measurable peak relief and avoided capacity
spend.
Do you integrate with DERMS/ADMS/AMI?
Yes — we expose secure APIs and event webhooks. We keep the public site high‑level and move specifics behind NDA.
What about certifications?
We follow a CSA/CEC pathway for residential equipment. We publish milestones publicly and share test reports under NDA.
Customer comfort?
Controls are bounded by comfort and safety limits (e.g., EV charge windows, thermal pre‑conditioning) to maintain satisfaction while still delivering grid value.
