Voltus

Catch our session "The ABCs of VPPs" at #VERGE2024 by Trellis Group. Voltus's Matthew Plante will be digging into #virtualpowerplants, alongside speakers from the Loan Programs Office | U.S. Department of Energy, Resideo, and RMI. You can also connect with our team members Dana Guernsey and Matthew Plante at the conference. See you there! https://lnkd.in/gQtV5F3i

Thank you for having us!

Many thanks to the White House Climate Policy Office and the Council of Environmental Quality for bringing this group of energy leaders together this week to discuss the acceleration of #virtualpowerplant (VPP) participation from Federal Buildings. There was clear alignment from representatives from the United States Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and GSA on the pronounced economic, reliability, and sustainability benefits of #VPPs and receptivity to learning from the private sector on how to onboard thousands of government owned and operated buildings and defense installations at scale. Voltus is poised to use our experience managing over 7 GW of #demandresponse and #distributedenergyresources to assist in this effort and looks forward to further collaboration!

In a commentary this week for Industry Dive, Voltus Chief Regulatory Officer — and longest-serving #FERC Chairman — Jon Wellinghoff teams up with former FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee. In their piece, they make the case for accelerated implementation of FERC Order Number 2222, which they characterize as a readily available, bipartisan #energypolicy solution to the waning reliability and affordability of the grid. https://lnkd.in/dm5q7BKq

Tomorrow at noon CT: Join Voltus's Sean Shafer and Midwest Renewable Energy Association's Nick Hylla as they share Wisconsin's latest #demandresponse updates, recent regulatory changes, and what it means for #energy consumers. #distributedenergyresources

"We can get the electricity we need without frying our planet" said the The New York Times a few months back. But...can we get the data we need to make the economics work? Certain obstacles to the #energytransition are more obvious than others, and sometimes it's the boring-seeming ones that are the most important to bring to light. Namely: one of the more significant (and most obscure) is the lack of access that consumers have to their own electricity consumption data — much less control over it. This is especially true for residential customers where installing third party metering is cost prohibitive. While many wouldn't think twice about this, it's critical to the deployment of #VPPs. The good news is we have the technology to liberate the data, give consumers greater discretion over their energy costs, and stand-up the resources needed to deliver the 21st century grid. But regulatory policy still needs to catch up.

We 💚 our partners! Listen to the podcast to learn how energy users can leverage EVready’s electrical load management software to get paid for their energy conservation efforts. #virtualpowerplants #distributedenergyresources

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) recognizes Voltus’s role in leveraging demand-side resources to improve electric grid reliability, affordability, and sustainability. In a recent report, BCG highlights how Voltus’s #virtualpowerplant successfully delivered much needed capacity when a gas-fired power plant tripped offline in Alberta. #distributedenergyresources #demandresponse https://lnkd.in/gHjXbq7K

Voltus is excited to announce its membership as an exclusive #demandresponse provider for NYC Accelerator Service Provider Program. NYC Accelerator is a program of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice with a mission to decarbonize the city while building healthier, safer communities. Demand response supports this mission by paying businesses to reduce their energy usage when the grid needs it - enabling the city to meet its 2030 clean energy goals AND unlocking revenue for participants to finance energy assets that meet emissions compliance. Reach out to @Voltus or NYC Accelerator to get started today!

We are excited to share that Branch Energy has selected Voltus to maximize the value of its battery-based energy offering for its commercial and industrial customers in #Texas! This partnership will open new revenue streams for Branch’s battery-hosting customers while improving customer resilience against electric service disruptions in Texas. #virtualpowerplants #distributedenergyresources #demandresponse https://lnkd.in/gDHANPaB
