Where Hungry Machines works best

Hungry Machines works with any home — but the savings are biggest when your electricity price changes through the day. On time-of-use, hourly, or wholesale rates, there's real money in shifting load to the cheap hours. We support 10 of these variable-rate utilities and markets today, and we're adding more all the time.

Don't see yours below? Your rate may still work — these are just the ones we've tuned and verified. Tell us your utility and plan and we'll add it.

Coverage is the same whichever way you connect — the Smart Satellite talks to the optimizer on its own and works anywhere your rate is covered.
