Virtual Gateway is a simple, flexible demand management and conservation system that works with typical residential loads such as air conditioning, water heaters, and pool/spa pumps. It's smarter and offers more options than simple radio controlled switches, while remaining easier to use, more economical, and less complex to install than other "gateway" systems.

Unlike many other methods for reducing demand, Virtual Gateway actually benefits customers by providing them with more control over their monthly electric bill. As a result, you may be able to recruit more customers into your program with smaller financial incentives. And because participants play an active role in their own energy conservation, they are more likely to stick with the program.
