OBM Earns 2026 E+E Leader Award for Innovation in Sustainability

Baltimore, MD, April 22, 2026 — OBM, the leader in flexible load management solutions, today announced that it has been named a winner in the 2026 Environment+Energy Leader Awards. The annual program recognizes companies delivering measurable progress in energy management, environmental performance, and sustainability.

Award-Winning Innovation

OBM was recognized in the Software & Cloud category for its impact in reducing energy waste and emissions by enabling real-time, data-driven load optimization that improves efficiency, lowers operational risk, and supports smarter energy decision-making. This recognition reflects OBM’s commitment to delivering measurable results and helping organizations navigate increasingly complex environmental and energy challenges.

OBM enables organizations to dynamically optimize power consumption in real time through advanced compute and flexible load management technologies. The platform uses intelligent, data-driven automation to adjust load behavior based on grid conditions, energy prices, and operational priorities, helping decouple performance from energy volatility. With centralized, automated control, real-time monitoring, and algorithm-driven curtailment, OBM allows large-scale operations to respond instantly to changing market and grid conditions, improving reliability, efficiency, and operational flexibility.

In practice, these capabilities turn energy into a strategic asset, enabling measurable improvements in both performance and grid impact. OBM has managed loads of 500+ MW, curtailed 8.6M+ MWh and provided $229.3M+ in de-risked exposure through demand response and flexible load programs. Customers leverage OBM to qualify for advanced grid participation programs, such as ERCOT’s Controllable Load Resource (CLR), enabling rapid response to grid events and unlocking additional capacity for growth. Differentiated by its automation-first architecture and deep integration with energy markets, OBM helps operators reduce risk, improve uptime, and transform energy flexibility into a competitive advantage.

“As power demand continues to surge across high energy industries, this recognition reinforces OBM’s commitment to deliver a more intelligent, data-driven approach to energy management,” said Dan Lawrence, CEO and co-founder of OBM. “To meet the growing energy crisis, the future depends on real-time, automated load optimization to reduce energy waste and emissions, and turn sustainability and efficiency into a competitive advantage.”
