Edo

Edo, launched in 2021 from a collaboration between McKinstry and Avista, partners with electric utilities and commercial building operators to create grid-interactive virtual power plants. The platform connects HVAC, lighting, solar, batteries, and EV charging systems across commercial buildings — including offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and municipalities — aggregating them into demand flexibility programs that reduce peak load, defer infrastructure investments, and accelerate decarbonization. Edo's AI-powered automation cuts peak demand by up to 15% while maintaining occupant comfort and lowering energy costs.
