Why utilities need smarter, more flexible VPPs Standard demand response events remain one of the most effective tools utilities have for reducing load during a short peak period. But grid needs are evolving, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict when system peaks will occur. Utilities need VPPs that...

2025 proved that Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are a cornerstone of modern grid operations. Record heat, surging demand, and aging infrastructure pushed the limits of the power system — and virtual power plants rose to meet the challenge. EnergyHub and our utility partners delivered flexibility at scale that matches the...

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...

During another year of record-setting temperatures, virtual power plants (VPPs) played a vital role in maintaining a reliable, affordable, and increasingly decarbonized grid across North America. EnergyHub’s clients called on their VPPs over 2,000 times during the 2024 summer season, a 26% increase over 2023. These events shifted over 44...

The U.S. government estimates that the electricity industry must add roughly two terawatts of wind and solar generation to decarbonize our electric grid by 2035. Since renewable energy generation is variable by nature, the industry will also need to source as much as 500 gigawatts of flexibility, such as...

EnergyHub clients called 1,800+ events – a 38% increase over 2022 – proving that VPPs can ensure grid reliability and keep customers safe and comfortable (New York) November 2, 2023 – Record high temperatures this summer, with weeks of heat topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit, drove unprecedented electricity demand across...

Memphis, TN – May 10, 2023 – EnergyHub clients Arizona-based public utility Salt River Project and Texas-based CPS Energy were the winners of the 20th PLMA (Peak Load Management Alliance) Awards. This annual awards program recognizes innovative approaches to flexible load management and initiatives to effectively manage end-use energy...

EnergyHub is the first distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) provider to have more than one million distributed energy resources (DERs)—including smart thermostats, electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging equipment, energy storage systems, water heaters, and more—under management.  The company is excited to announce this major milestone for our...

Charge up for 2023 with a look back at our readers’ favorite posts from the grid edge of 2022.  The following pieces explore how utility clients, their customers, device partners, and EnergyHub collaborated to deploy 1.3 GW of distributed energy resource flexibility and keep our grid resilient during a...

As extreme heat put electrical infrastructure to the test across North America again this summer, utilities and their customers showed they can step up and support grid reliability when it matters most. Households and businesses across the continent worked with EnergyHub client utilities to manage 1.3 GW of flexibility...
