How Inspire is using big data to make clean energy more accessible - Technical.ly Philly

With the launch of its Smart Energy subscription plan this year in Philadelphia, Inspire fulfilled a major part of its vision, explained CTO Mike Durst from the company's Center City office. "Our mission is all about creating this brighter energy future," he said. "A pillar of that is getting as many people as possible on clean energy." The subscription plan combines a seamless sign-up, flat supply price, cash rewards (when you use less energy than predicted) and energy-saving smart devices to outfit your home. Also, Inspire's Smart Home app allows you to control the devices and monitor your energy use, all from your smartphone.
