Last week our friends at Google Nest launched their next generation Nest Learning Thermostat. It’s an energy-saving machine, and a great tool on the path to a cleaner energy future. Inspired by the award-winning original, it’s their smartest thermostat yet. And it comes with Nest Renew, a set of smart energy features powered by Renew Home. That includes Energy Shift, which can help shift your home’s electricity use to cleaner and cheaper times. https://lnkd.in/gs-v4k4z

The grid is sleeping on 70 GW of peak load shift potential. Read our new paper, “Smart Thermostats and the Future of VPPs” to see why (link in first comment). TLDR? Most conversations about virtual power plants center on emerging technologies like battery storage or EVs. There’s also a large-scale, ready-to-activate resource right in front of us: 82M+ U.S. homes that could be paired with a smart thermostat to make them grid responsive. Together they could create a virtual power plant with capacity equal to the peak summer electric utility demand in the state of Florida. And that’s just thermostats!

We're building the grid’s largest sustainable power plant. All starting with the untapped potential available inside homes right now. The U.S. needs more than 200 GW of additional peak capacity by 2030, and Renew Home is helping deliver that capacity in a cost effective and sustainable way. Check out this Forbes article to learn more about how we are creating a future where households can save energy while enabling a cleaner grid for all.
