• Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerCalico co-hosted a webinar with MEEA on May 26, 2021 to discuss how stakeholders can work together to change the way utilities interact with the built world, with ComEd sharing insights on their Chicago work.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• UtilityAPI: UtilityAPI provides authorized, automated utility data access APIs for buildings and energy efficiency programs. It directly overlaps with Calico's Utilibridge™ on multi-tenant building data aggregation, benchmarking compliance, and Green Button-based integrations, making it the closest direct competitor.
• Recurve: Recurve is a platform focused on benchmarking-grade building energy data, M&V, and pay-for-performance efficiency programs. It competes with Calico in the same whole-building data, benchmarking, and utility program design space and is even referenced in Calico's own thought-leadership content.

Broad incumbents

• Uplight: Uplight is a leading utility customer engagement and energy efficiency software platform used by major IOU and municipal utilities. It addresses an overlapping utility buyer with a broader portfolio, including data, programs, and customer experience, competing with Calico at the utility procurement layer.
• AutoGrid: AutoGrid (an Uplight company) provides distributed energy resource management and demand flexibility software to utilities globally. Its use of building and customer energy data to enable grid services makes it an adjacent incumbent competing for utility program and data-infrastructure budgets.
• GridPoint: GridPoint offers building energy management and submetering software used by commercial buildings and utilities. While it sits more on the building management side, it competes with Calico for utility data-driven efficiency and energy management workloads.

Emerging players

• EnergyHub: EnergyHub provides a DER management platform for utilities, including demand response and grid-interactive programs. Its use of building-level interval data for program enrollment and dispatch overlaps with Calico's data-layer value proposition for grid-interactivity use cases.
• Measurabl: Measurabl provides ESG and energy benchmarking software for commercial real estate owners, integrating with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. It overlaps with Calico's building owner and benchmarking compliance use cases on the building-side customer base.
• Switch Automation: Switch Automation is a building benchmarking, energy, and sustainability analytics platform for CRE owners. It addresses the same downstream benchmarking-compliance problem that Calico's utility-enabled data feeds, making it an adjacent competitor for the same end customers.
• WattIQ: WattIQ focuses on building-level energy data aggregation, submetering, and benchmarking for CRE and multifamily portfolios. Its aggregation-first approach overlaps directly with Calico's Utilibridge™ multi-tenant building data aggregation workflow.

Regional players

• URBANCON: URBANCON is an energy benchmarking services and data provider operating in EU markets, serving municipal benchmarking programs and BEPS-equivalent regulation. It is comparable to Calico as a non-U.S. regional peer tackling utility-vs-building data gaps from the compliance side.
