In the mountains of Park City, our founders recognized that rooftop heat cables were far more than a building-level inefficiency—they represented one of the largest unmanaged electrical loads on the grid. Powder Watts was created to apply advanced computer vision, AI, IoT, and grid-interactive control to transform this overlooked source of waste into a scalable DER and Virtual Power Plant resource for utilities, customers, and the nation.
