Apple Offering U.S. Residential Customers New "Grid Forecast" Tool
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Apple announced that it has introduced a new tool in the Home app on Apple devices called Grid Forecast
"Grid Forecast is a new tool in the Home app on Apple devices that shows when a user’s electrical grid has relatively cleaner or less clean energy sources available. For example, there are times when wind and solar projects produce more energy than the grid can use, leading to some of it being wasted. There are also times when electricity is being generated with lower emissions. By using electricity during these cleaner times, customers may lower the climate impact of the electricity they use at home," Apple said
"Apple uses data that combines grid, emissions, and weather information into one, easy-to-follow signal. This can help people make decisions about the best time to run large appliances and charge electric vehicles or devices throughout the day," Apple said
In the contiguous United States, Grid Forecast is available in the Home app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and can be added as an iOS widget or a watch face complication, Apple said
"As additional data becomes available through ongoing industry collaboration, Apple will continue refining Grid Forecast to maximize impact," Apple said
Apple announced Grid Forecast as part of updating its decarbonization efforts
"As Apple decarbonizes its value chain, the company is also committed to engaging with customers and creating technology that helps them understand and address their environmental impact," Apple said
