We’ve all witnessed the serious challenges facing electrical grids—locally and globally. These issues go beyond capacity, revealing critical vulnerabilities that urgently need addressing.

This is all an opportunity to make deep and impactful improvements to an aging grid and to generate big returns as a result.

Our world now depends on electricity for nearly everything—transportation, homes, manufacturing, and data. Yet, the modern electric grid still operates on a century-old framework. While technologies have evolved, the grid’s business model remains mostly unchanged: generate power, transmit the power, deliver the power, and bill customers for the power based on total usage. That’s what grid operators focus upon—getting bills paid.

However, today’s grids are under immense strain from rapid growth, rising complexity, and demands they were never designed to handle. State governors, energy agencies, utilities, and the Department of Energy have long warned of this growing crisis—and it’s not just an American problem, it’s global.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett has become highly cautious about the utility industry, warning that the sector is no longer the “safe haven” investment it once was. The primary risk, he states, is the increasing frequency and intensity of blackouts and wildfires, which have led to massive liabilities and a deteriorating relationship with regulators and consumers.

Despite efforts to mix energy sources, these challenges persist due to deep flaws in grid design. Shockingly, grid operators have minimal real-time control—often limited to a practice of simply turning power on or off to manage load shedding.

The result? Increasing blackouts, catastrophic fires, and billions in damage.

While expectations for clean energy and storage rise, grid infrastructure has not kept up. Operators and regulators still lack the tools to guarantee reliable, safe, and continuous power for consumers.

Why Edison IntelliGrid?

Edison IntelliGrid is solving some of the biggest challenges in energy—and in doing so, it is opening massive global opportunities for investors, utilities, and their partners.

A Smarter, Fully Deployed Solution

At the heart of our success is a next-generation, upgradable system of intelligent hardware and software—already built, tested, and deployed. What we have created was not easy. It’s unlike anything else on the market, and it works.

Holistic Impact, Built for Scale

Edison’s technology is designed to roll out across a utility’s entire customer base—residential and small business growing to commercial applications—solving key operational issues while:

  • Creating multiple new income streams
  • Boosting efficiency
  • Extending the life of grid infrastructure and equipment

As noted above, expanding to commercial deployment is even easier, more cost-effective, and profitable than residential.

Breakthrough Technology That Wins on Every Front

Our proprietary, trade-secret system delivers advanced control and integration at a fraction of the cost—something competitors haven’t come close to matching. While other systems are fragmented, overpriced (3–5x more), and hard to scale, ours is unified, cost-efficient, and ready now.

From Legacy Business Model to Profit Engine

Edison eliminates the need for outdated legacy meters by embedding full metering directly into the system. The result? Utilities:

  • Redirect their existing meter budgets into a smarter, more powerful platform
  • Generate new recurring revenue
  • Reduce operational headaches
  • Potentially lower legal risk

Strategic Rollout for Rapid Adoption

We know the energy sector can be slow to change—even when the benefits are clear. That’s why we’re leveraging established relationships with the U.S. Department of Commerce, global trade representatives, and consular offices to get in front of the most forward-thinking utilities and national programs first. We’re also bringing in top-tier consultants with deep utility connections to fast-track adoption and scale globally.

What is the AIS? What does it do?

Real-Time Metering & Billing

The AIS features revenue-grade metering and submetering that enables point-of-use billing. Electric rates are downloaded to the device, and usage is tracked in real-time. Bills are calculated and available in real-time, and available to uploaded to the cloud at the end of each billing cycle.

An optional on-site payment system allows users to pay directly through the AIS using credit cards, digital currency, or other methods.

Secure, Cloud-Driven Technology

The AIS uses state-of-the-art data security and cloud connectivity.

Competition

Edison has no direct competitor. While others offer fragmented, single-purpose products, only Edison delivers a fully integrated, grid-scale solution.

The Competitive Gap

Most competitors target the B2C market, selling through solar or battery partners with limited functionality. Their systems:

  • Lack grid integration
  • Are difficult to scale and maintain
  • Cost 3–5 times more than Edison’s AIS
  • Cannot match our performance, reach, or reliability

Competitors may understand what needs to be done but they are unable to build technology doing what the AIS does—they simply don’t have the IP, trade knowledge, technology, or expertise to replicate it. And even if they could, their cost is 3–5 times higher.

Edison delivers what others cannot: a proven, scalable, intelligent infrastructure solution that redefines how utilities connect, operate, and grow—at a fraction of the cost.

Edison IntelliGrid, because we are a small technology company, designing innovative inventions, we put them into the marketplace. Our larger competitors operate on the conventions and concepts of what they have always been doing and have difficulty resolving internal competition between different legacy product lines and related sales teams.
