Trilliant Forms Agreement with Oshawa Power to Enable its Suite Metering Program with Scalable Technology and Professional Services Expertise

Trilliant’s Smart Building Platform will support utility’s program empowering customers to reduce energy consumption and better manage costs

Toronto, ON — October 29, 2024 – Trilliant, a leading international provider of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), smart grid, smart cities, and IIoT, has announced its Smart Building Platform was selected by Oshawa Power to support its suite metering program for multi-unit buildings, aimed at achieving energy savings and enhanced options for customers.

Oshawa Power is a regulated electricity distribution company, dedicated to delivering a safe and reliable supply of electricity to more than 61,000 homes and businesses across Oshawa, Ontario. Through its suite metering program, the utility provides each unit within residential and commercial buildings with their own separate meter. Residents are only required to pay for the electricity used in their unit as opposed to a monthly flat rate to their building. This encourages customers’ individual conservation efforts, while allowing them to directly control their hydro costs.

Under the agreement, Oshawa Power will use turnkey services and technology from Trilliant to design, install, and maintain wired and wireless suite metering/sub-metering systems. This would benefit customers in both historical buildings and new construction within the rapidly growing Oshawa and Durham Region. Trilliant will provide field resources, third-party logistics services, as well as managed data and analytics services, simplifying all processes for Oshawa Power while enabling customers to quickly and effectively manage their energy use.

“Our suite metering program provides occupants of multi-unit buildings with the ability to minimize costs and take control of their energy efficiency — two things we know customers are eager to do,” said Daniel Arbour, President and CEO, Oshawa Power. “Our partnership with Trilliant allows us to leverage their expertise and knowledge to ensure we’re providing the best possible service to our customers. We’re proud to continue to grow our program, supporting building owners, condominium boards and residents with the ability to better manage their energy use.”

“We’re excited to support Oshawa Power as it focuses on enabling customers to better manage and take control of their energy use,” said Steven Lupo, Managing Director, Canada and U.S. at Trilliant. “Our expertise, reliable services and unique, scalable solutions provide utilities with a way to implement suite metering efficiently, while increasing their access to valuable data to improve their offerings. Oshawa Power is a notable example of a forward-thinking energy organization that is leveraging the right technology to meet its customers’ requirements and encourage energy conservation.”

Secure Sub-metering Platform for New Buildings and Retrofit Projects

This partnership comes at a pivotal time as utilities prioritize their participation in grid modernization, carbon footprint reduction, electrification, and other energy transition initiatives across Canada.

Trilliant’s Smart Building platform is specifically designed to support a variety of energy, industrial and municipal applications worldwide. The scalable and secure platform is managed by Trilliant’s UnitySuite® head-end system (HES) software, which can integrate multiple metering commodity types, provide data acquisition and management, enhanced analytics, and energy insights.

Additionally, Trilliant’s platform easily expands to support a host of current and future IoT applications including flood and leak detection, energy monitoring, and lighting controls — all on one common user interface and experience.

Trilliant offers scalable, secure wireless technology which allows for the implementation of sub-metering quickly and efficiently in new buildings and retrofit projects. This offering replaces wired meters and cables — which can be expensive and time-consuming to install and troubleshoot — with a wireless sub-metering solution that tracks tenants’ consumption in near real time, while analyzing a building’s energy performance to pinpoint problems or areas of improvement.
