The Missing Link Between the Grid and Buildings
Energy data shouldn’t be this hard to get, but across 10,000+ utilities, it still is.
In this episode of The Down Low with Joe, Udit Garg, SVP of R&D at Arcadia, joins Joe Aamidor and Lewis Martin to unpack how the “Plaid for Energy” is finally making energy data usable.. at scale.
Udit explains why every clean energy or smart building solution depends on the same two things: usage and rates. He shares how Arcadia’s acquisitions of Urjanet and Genability are powering a unified data platform for the energy transition, and what that means for corporate decarbonization, bill management, and AI-driven optimization.
We discuss:
- Why utilities remain the biggest bottleneck for clean energy innovation
- How Urjanet and Genability together solved “quantity × price” for 10,000 utilities
- Data normalization and rate modeling: the hard, unglamorous layer that enables AI
- How fragmentation across vendors and internal teams limits ROI on energy programs
- The “hierarchy of needs” for energy management — from bill pay to decarbonization
- Why ESG is cooling off, but cost volatility is heating up
- The shift from reporting to real action: saving money first, cutting carbon next
About Udit Garg:
Udit leads technology at Arcadia, where he oversees the platform that connects distributed energy assets, utilities, and corporates through unified data and APIs. He previously led energy product development at C3.ai and began his career at SunEdison, giving him a unique view of how data, software, and hardware must converge to enable the clean energy future.
