Dive Summary:

• Founded by software billionaire Tom Siebel, the C3 Energy smart grid analytics firm in Redwood City, Calif. just launched a stable of three new smart applications that deliver a unified view of smart meter deployments, asset and system risks, and customer impacts.
• Competing with more established companies such as Siemens and ABB offering similar analytics tools, C3 is gradually making progress with utilities such as Constellation, DTE, Commonwealth Edison, Entergy, Northeast Utilities, Southern California Edison and Iberdrola.
