Print and online media mentions of eMeter in 2009.


“Smart-grid software company eMeter Corp. of San Mateo, Calif., landed $32 million in a Series C round of capital led by Sequoia Capital, which the company said would take it into profitability.”

“eMeter has emerged as one of the favorite stand-alone meter data management companies. It has contracts with utilities including with CenterPoint Energy, Alliant Energy and Southern California Edison, which plans to install 5.3 million meters through 2012.”

The company is betting its business will grow as some of the $4.5 billion earmarked for smart-grid technology flows to utilities. “We’re prepared to hire people rapidly once the stimulus action really starts,” says eMeter CEO Cree Edwards.
