Enabling and Accelerating Grid Modernization:

SGIP is the industry leader in merging the Internet of Things and Energy. Our EnergyIoT™ strategy advances interoperability by leveraging existing processes and standards and applying common, secure IoT technologies to create a fabric that is secure, reliable, resilient, and flexible. Our newest EnergyIoT™ Priority Action Plan, OpenFMB, is a utility-led project dedicated to incorporating common utility data models and applying IoT communication and publication/subscription protocols to create an Open Field Message Bus. This approach creates a modern methodology where devices and systems can easily communicate with one another, unlocking new opportunities for innovative features and field applications in a common, modern framework.
