About

Hilo is a smart home energy management platform operated by Hydro-Québec that uses AI to coordinate residential smart devices — thermostats, water heaters, EV chargers, and appliances — to reduce electricity consumption during grid stress events. By aggregating thousands of homes into a virtual power plant, Hilo enables the grid operator to call demand reductions equivalent to hundreds of megawatts without building new generation infrastructure.
