I’m pleased to announce that EnergyHub has acquired Resideo Grid Services (RGS). By joining forces, we’re accelerating the scale and impact of virtual power plants (VPPs) and delivering the flexibility utilities need to meet today’s challenges of affordability, reliability, and rapid load growth.

VPPs are a proven, cost-effective alternative to traditional infrastructure. They can be deployed much more quickly at a fraction of the cost, avoid permitting hurdles, and consistently deliver flexible capacity when it matters most. And unlike traditional power plants, they can support the distribution system in addition to the bulk grid.

EnergyHub’s platform already orchestrates millions of distributed energy resources (DERs), from thermostats and EVs to batteries and commercial and industrial facilities. Now, RGS clients gain access to this extensive multi-DER ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities to grow their VPPs. We’re combining the best of EnergyHub and RGS technology to deliver more value to our clients.

Resideo Grid Services has built a reputation as a trusted partner for utilities, serving dozens of utilities with a combined 650k+ devices under management. With years of experience running successful programs across North America, the RGS team and technology have helped utilities manage peak demand and improve reliability, while delivering a consistent customer experience.

By combining RGS and EnergyHub’s capabilities, we’re expanding what’s possible: more DER types, deeper utility integrations, and an accelerated product roadmap.

From BYOT to full-scale flexibility

More than a decade ago, EnergyHub and RGS pioneered the Bring Your Own Thermostat™ (BYOT) model, showing that millions of behind-the-meter, connected devices in customers’ homes could be orchestrated into reliable, dispatchable grid resources — without rolling a single truck and with minimal customer impact. 

Utilities embraced BYOT because it worked: customers signed up in droves and reduced peak demand when it mattered most. But thermostats were the starting point, not the destination.

Today’s grid challenges demand an “all of the above” approach: thermostats, EVs, solar, batteries, commercial and industrial facilities, and more. Utilities don’t want separate systems for each resource — they want one secure, integrated platform with unified visibility and control.

Each resource has distinct characteristics. EVs are not thermostats are not batteries. Cross-DER dispatch combines complementary DER traits to deliver greater system benefits. This makes a unified platform more capable, more efficient, and strategically more valuable.

An Edge DERMS delivers exactly that. It simplifies operations, reduces overhead, and enables utilities to deploy more capable VPPs that deliver greater system benefits. By joining forces with RGS, we’re accelerating this vision.

EnergyHub and RGS are now one team, focused on leading the future of grid-edge flexibility. Together, we’ll help utilities meet load growth, improve affordability and reliability, and unlock the full potential of VPPs.

Let’s talk about how EnergyHub can help you unlock flexible capacity, accelerate VPP deployment, and meet your grid challenges head‑on. Get in touch.
