The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that utility companies do not violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) when sending unsolicited text messages to customers about energy demand days.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your go-to-market for residential demand-response just got a lot simpler. Utilities can now text customers about peak usage without needing prior consent, removing a major sales and adoption hurdle for your software.
