About

Recurve is an enterprise-grade demand flexibility platform designed for utilities, energy implementers, and technology partners navigating the complexities of modern grid management. By connecting disparate data sources across programs and systems, Recurve's FLEX platform delivers actionable insights that enable smarter program design and verified, measurable impact. The platform is built around two core products: FLEX Insights and FLEX Programs. FLEX Insights accelerates demand-side planning with tools for customer segmentation, targeting, and scenario analysis — all powered by real customer meter data. FLEX Programs enables utilities and implementers to launch, manage, and verify demand-side programs that align with grid needs and deliver reliable results at scale. Recurve's open-source foundation promotes transparency and standardization, particularly in measurement & verification methodologies. This matters for distributed energy resources (DERs), demand response, and energy efficiency programs where performance data is often fragmented or delayed. The platform is trusted by major utilities and energy organizations seeking to reduce evaluation costs, automate data preparation, and gain real-time, transparent feedback on program performance. Recurve's FLEX platform won the 2026 AESP Energy Award for Innovation in Demand Flexibility, reflecting its industry impact. Ideal for utility program managers, energy implementers, and technology partners who need a trusted, scalable solution to design, deliver, and verify demand-side energy programs.

Key Features

FLEX Insights: Accelerates demand-side planning with customer segmentation, targeting, and scenario analysis tools powered by real meter data.
FLEX Programs: Enables utilities and implementers to launch, manage, and deliver verified demand-side programs aligned with grid needs at scale.
Measurement & Verification (M&V): Provides transparent, meter-based M&V methodologies to validate program impact and build confidence in reported results.
Open-Source Platform: Built on an open-source foundation that connects data across disparate programs and systems, promoting standardization and transparency.
Real-Time Program Performance Feedback: Automates data preparation and number crunching to deliver timely, actionable insights that improve demand-side program performance.

Use Cases

A utility company uses FLEX Insights to segment its customer base and identify the best candidates for a new demand response program, reducing planning time and improving targeting accuracy.
An energy implementer launches and manages a large-scale energy efficiency program through FLEX Programs, delivering verified savings results to their utility partner without building custom tools.
A technology partner integrates with the Recurve platform to provide transparent M&V for distributed energy resource (DER) deployments, enabling standardized impact reporting.
A utility program manager automates data preparation and performance monitoring for multiple concurrent demand-side programs, freeing up evaluation resources for strategic improvements.
An energy trust uses Recurve's open-source platform to reduce evaluation costs and gain real-time feedback on program performance, enabling continuous improvement of their efficiency initiatives.

Pros

Industry-Recognized Innovation: Winner of the 2026 AESP Energy Award for Innovation in Demand Flexibility, validating its effectiveness and credibility.
Open-Source Transparency: The open-source platform promotes trust and standardization in measurement methodologies, reducing evaluation costs for utilities.
End-to-End Demand-Side Management: Covers the full lifecycle from program planning and segmentation to delivery and verified results, eliminating the need for DIY tools.
Scalable Multi-Stakeholder Design: Purpose-built for utilities, implementers, and technology partners, enabling cross-organization collaboration on complex energy programs.

Cons

Narrow Industry Focus: Exclusively designed for the energy utility sector, making it unsuitable for organizations outside of demand-side energy management.
Enterprise-Oriented Pricing: As an enterprise platform requiring a demo request, pricing and onboarding may be a barrier for smaller organizations or implementers.
Requires Quality Customer Data: Platform performance depends on access to reliable, granular customer meter data, which may be a challenge for some utility partners.
