The offering helps utilities increase participation in their programmes for EV charging, smart panels and other electrification technologies by connecting their customers to Qmerit's installation services.

Utilities can also forecast EV adoption in their service territories and plan accordingly, due to Qmerit's partnerships with automakers, electrification equipment manufacturers and commercial fleet managers. 

Qmerit says it also helps utilities develop load-management strategies and increase participation in time-of-use and EV-specific rate programmes as well as managed charging.

"Qmerit is helping utility customers benefit from programmes for electrification technologies, starting with EV charging installations and smart-panel upgrades," said Tom Bowen, president of Qmerit Solutions. "At the same time, we're helping utilities position themselves as long-term partners to their customers for the entire electrification journey – the switch from fossil fuel-powered systems to more sustainable electric technologies."
