AutoGrid
AutoGrid is a DERMS specialist for utilities managing distributed energy resources, now part of Uplight, headquartered in Redwood City, California.
Overview
AutoGrid is a DERMS (distributed energy resource management system) platform — not a general FSM. It’s the right pick when DER orchestration, demand response, and grid-edge asset management are core workflows rather than adjacent ones. The platform integrates with utility SCADA, meter data management systems, and field service tools to coordinate dispatch and asset state in real time. Acquired by Uplight in 2023.
When to pick AutoGrid
AutoGrid suits utilities with material distributed energy resource portfolios — solar PV, batteries, EV chargers, demand response programs — where DERMS is a core operational capability. For traditional utility field service without DER orchestration, Oracle Utilities, SAP Field Service Management, and IFS dominate at investor-owned scale; Clevest fits municipal and AMI-heavy operations.
