ConnectedSolutions is one of the most successful virtual power plants (VPPs) in the U.S., delivering more than 800 MW of flexible capacity across participating territories.

What started as a thermostat pilot has grown into a multi-state VPP that coordinates residential and commercial demand response resources to provide reliable, predictable flexibility. By unifying multiple DERs under one program design, utilities have simplified enrollment, aligned incentives with grid value, and created a scalable model that can be replicated across territories.

Today, ConnectedSolutions includes 280,000+ enrolled devices across five utilities and energy service providers, demonstrating that a shared program framework can scale faster and deliver meaningful grid benefits.
