Returning Power to the People!

EnergyCite’s mission is to empower electric, gas, and water utility customers with products and services that optimize energy efficiency, thereby saving the consumer money and contributing to the conservation of national energy resources.

EnergyCite, Inc., established in June 2018, is a Nevada corporation with current administrative, engineering, and production offices in Carmichael, California. The company is engaged in the design, development, commercialization, and marketing of various electronic products and services in the field of home automation, energy conservation, and state-of-the-art electronic utility metering systems.

EnergyCite integrates Internet of Things (IoT), home automation, “smart energy,” and smartphones with utility smart meters, and a Fintech-based pay-as-you-go utility payment program to help consumers manage their energy use and save money.

Initially, the focus will be on smart meters installed by electric utility companies, because those are the most prevalent. When gas and water smart meters are adopted more widely, EnergyCite plans on expanding the product line to encompass these smart meters, assuming adequate capital is available.

Development Stage

The customer hardware products and software apps have been designed, built and tested. The hardware products aren’t mass produced, as we’re using this funding round to fund our purchase order. All production engineering and tooling has been completed. The iOS and Android apps are still in beta and will be released for public use once our hardware products ship to customers. This is anticipated for September 2019. Lastly, key pieces of utility back-end software required for total system integration from a customer’s home to their utility company’s back office billing system is still in development. We anticipate having this complete by September 2019 as well.

Company Origins

EnergyCite is based on a strong foundation built by USCL Corporation, a private electronic product development company that operated between 1995 and 2010.

Founded by EnergyCite President and CEO Tom Tamarkin in 1995, USCL was financed through a series of SEC-exempt Regulation D private placement offerings in the 2001-2010 timeframe. The company successfully raised and invested $3 million in R&D and patent prosecution. USCL discontinued its business operations in 2010 due to the devastation of the private and VC investment capital markets after the 2008 world economic crisis.

Tamarkin and USCL are widely credited for the design of and the electrical utility industry’s adoption of the new generation of smart meters.

Tom Tamarkin filed an amicus curiae or technical “friend of the court brief” with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in 2005. A year later, Tom provided Southern California Edison a design specification and prototype of a revolutionary smart meter as required by the CPUC. Tom’s smart meter design specification became the industry benchmark standard.

Thanks to Tom’s efforts, smart meters aren’t just a breakthrough for utility companies. Inside every smart meter is a hidden ZigBee based Home Area Network (HAN) radio unit designed to communicate power data with the consumer and automatic control devices. The same ZigBee technology that many home automation systems use today. This radio allows the customer to see their instantaneous and accumulated power use and up to the second costs. Valuable information such as variable rate structures, based on accumulated tiers, time of use, and peak demand, are automatically calculated and displayed, if the consumer has the technology to connect to the meter. However, very few if any utilities are telling this to their customers.

These new Smart Meters are meant to replace the old-fashioned installed base of 125 million single phase electromechanical kilowatt-hour meters.

It took seven years and more than 40 in-person meetings to convince Southern California Edison, the nation’s largest electric utility, to change out 5 million power meters with modern meters compatible with USCL products. That’s persistence!

The Problem

As of 2017, the United States residential utility market consists of 132,580,000 electric customers each supported by an electric meter. Of these 32% are lower income households representing 42,425,600 accounts which are termed “energy burdened.” This means energy utility expenses consume 5 to 20% of household income. Sixty percent of these households are currently served by smart meters representing an installed base of 21,212,500 smart meters serving this lower income population segment. This group of households has difficulty managing their utility expenses.

There are two issues here. One is the issue of having to make a relatively large payment to the utility company every 30 days or face disconnection and penalty fees. The second issue is to minimize the electrical bill yet maintain an acceptable set of living conditions and lifestyle. EnergyCite addresses both these issues by providing a wireless data communication path between the utility company’s smart meter and devices located inside the home or apartment to display the real time amount of electricity being used, its cost, accumulated cost since the last payment, and other related information. We can also automatically control electric loads to increase and decrease power. This can include specific appliances, lighting, the air-conditioning system, etc., based on adaptive learning artificial intelligence (AI.) Remote display and control capability is provided as an “app” for iPhone and Android smart phones. A Fintech based “pay as you go” payment transaction system allows the customer to pay his bill as frequently as he wishes from the smart phone interface. The pay as you go system has been designed to take into account credit challenged customers who have no credit or debit cards.

Smart Meter – Fact and Stats

In the U.S., an estimated 75 million smart meters were installed as of the end of 2017. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the number of American homes with a smart meter will increase to 80% by 2020. Development and large-scale use of renewables, energy management technologies, and efficiency measures are expected to contribute to the projected smart meter market growth.

In 2009, the federal government unleashed a $3.4 billion Smart Grid investment and President Obama touted the innovation: “Smart meters will allow you to actually monitor how much energy your family is using by the month, by the week, by the day, or even by the hour. So coupled with other technologies, this is going to help you manage your electricity use and your budget at the same time.”

Smart meters were supposed to let consumers see how much power they were using in their homes, thereby empowering them to change their habits and slash their bills. What is currently missing from smart meters, is user interfaces that relay information from the meter in real time and translate it into dollars and cents.

So we believe the promise of saving money through changed energy habits did not come to fruition. EnergyCite plans to disrupt the current paradigm and transform the concept of consumer savings into a reality!

Why Invest in EnergyCite?

Smart Thermostat companies do not provide real time cost or energy usage information and are limited to HVAC control (heater and air conditioner). Our goal is to provide real time energy use and cost information by enabling customers to control energy use through an energy management system.

Core products in this line include:

EnergyCite® Programmable Communicating Thermostat allows consumers to monitor and adjust energy usage directly on the thermostat.

EnergyCite® Remote Control for Smart Thermostat allows consumers to perform these functions from anywhere in the house.

EnergyCite® Smartphone App enables real-time feedback on power use and costs and the ability to adjust settings from anywhere in the world.

Other innovative products in this line include:

EnergyCite® IR Blaster: Split air conditioner controller in Home Area Networks.

EnergyCite® Home Automation Gateway Zigbee HAN: Network gateway.

EnergyCite® Smart Plug & Zigbee Range Extender: Converts home appliances to Smart Devices.

Since we believe all smart meters in the U.S. conform to the same set of ANSI standards, EnergyCite can work with any utility company in the country. The three Tamarkin U.S. patents provide broad system coverage, which means when all the pieces in the system are connected and operating, the single end user must practice these patents. The utility company is the single end user, because they own the smart meters and the equipment that communicates with the meters to and from the utility company’s back office, enabling customers to connect devices to the system. As for infringers, EnergyCite intends to license its technology to utilities in a manner that generates royalties from systems provided by future competitors.

The Patents

Jeremy and Tom Tamarkin at the Shanghai Patent and Trademark office in Shanghai, China, with the two Chinese patent attorneys who filed Tom’s granted patent in China.

Tamarkin was granted 7 patents on his smart meter and related system communications in the U.S., Israel, the European Union and China. These 3 US patents are assigned to EnergyCite.

U.S. patent number 7,379,791: May 27, 2008
U.S. patent number 8,306,668: November 6, 2012
U.S. patent number 8,639,390: January 28, 2014

Business Plan Highlights

EnergyCite plans on integrating home and small business energy management and Fintech, technology which enables real time Internet-based financial transactions associated with billing and payment remittance. The business model is based on a highly profitable mix of hardware and a software-based product.

EnergyCite’s proposed market base includes homeowners and small businesses with installed smart meters, while its market channel is the nation’s electrical utility companies. EnergyCite will also distribute these devices directly through its website, and is also working to secure a deal with a major and reputable nationwide hardware chain.

EnergyCite intends to leverage unused HAN data radio transceivers in virtually all smart meters in the U.S.
EnergyCite intends to use the vast unused population of meter HAN transceivers to build a nationwide utility subscriber side billing and payment remittance network and energy management service.
We believe that the implementation of meter radios and related communications systems will require utility companies to practice EnergyCite IP controlled by the three Tamarkin, et al., U.S. patents.
EnergyCite intends to submit a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) project proposal and associated beta site network funding request at the launch of its business.
We intend to use ARPA-E-sponsored beta site project results to organize a consortium of utility companies nationwide, licensed to use EnergyCite intellectual property.
EnergyCite intends to seek a “presidential proclamation” recognizing the smart meter and home energy network as a consumer tool to save money and reduce energy consumption, while contributing to national security

Manufacturing the Products

EnergyCite is currently partnering with Owon Technologies and its parent Lilliput, a leading research and development company in Xiamen, China. Communication devices have already been built and tested supporting all the electric smart meters built by the “Big 4” meter companies in the U.S.

Production-ready manufacturing designs have been manufactured to support hardware products and working demonstration devices of the products are listed in the EnergyCite product catalogue. System integration software and details of mobile apps are in the early design phase. EnergyCite also anticipates developing numerous relationships with major communication and software companies.

Advertising and Promotional Goals

EnergyCite will market its sales and services through utility companies nationwide.

This is a targeted sales campaign involving trade publication advertising, tradeshow exhibitions and one on one selling to utility company customer service executives.

EnergyCite will not attempt to target individual electric utility customers as the cost would be prohibitive.

Revenue Goals

The EnergyCite business model sets up a strong potential recurring revenue based on:

Licensing fees paid by utility companies to use our patents
Subscription service fees paid by consumers
Financial transaction fees
Product sales based on our rich suite of energy conservation IoT and smart meter-smart home catalogue of products
