About OpenADR

OpenADR stands for Open Automated Demand Response and is an internationally recognized communications standard for automating demand response (DR) in the electricity grid. It provides a standardized, open, secure, and two-way communication model that allows energy companies, grid operators, and customers to exchange dynamic price and reliability signals. This enables energy users, such as those in electric vehicle charging networks, to automatically adjust their energy consumption based on real-time grid information, improving grid efficiency and helping to balance supply and demand.
