Trilliant provides intelligent network solutions and software to utilities for advanced metering, demand response, and Smart Grid management. With more than twenty years experience solving meter communications needs, our company focuses on the adoption of open standards-based technologies for electric, gas, and water utilities. Our advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions enable utilities to develop time-of-use (TOU) metering and demand response programs, transforming the traditional customer-utility relationship through interval based consumption data and 2-way messaging. Also these solutions are used by utilities to drive down operational costs and improve customer satisfaction through much improved awareness and data on distribution system performance. Our Energy Services meet the needs of electric and natural gas utilities with meter reading services, utility data profiling, and online presentment. We have secured contracts for more than three million meters to be supported by network solutions and services.
