It’s undeniable: extreme weather is increasing in frequency and intensity, and the U.S. power grid remains ill-equipped to handle it. Extreme weather has tested every source of electricity generation over the last few years, leading to unexpected plant outages during extreme heat and extreme cold. But there are ways to engage your customers in making the grid more stable that can not only shift use during extreme peak times but also deliver a highly-satisfying experience, too. I love working on demand flexibility products for Oracle Energy and Water because it is helping the industry lean into the power of the customer in keeping the lights (and heat, and air conditioning) on, when people need it most.

Generally speaking, the highest carbon emission sources (and costliest to utilities / consumers) come from power generation during peak periods (think middle of the day, especially when it's hot or cold). Check out what Opower is doing to help shift some of that peak usage using behavioral science and awesome UX!!

The Power Sonic Pulse provides dependable backup power, guaranteeing seamless, uninterrupted operation of electrical devices even during outages. With Pulse, you're in control. Decide when to utilize stored energy, sell excess energy back to the grid, and more, revolutionizing your approach to energy management and consumption on a daily basis.

RMI's latest flipbook offers a comprehensive look into the future of virtual power plant (VPP) programs. Drawing on 15 U.S. case studies, it reveals that well-designed VPPs integrate multiple energy technologies, streamline customer experiences, and incentivize the adoption of distributed energy resources. Key takeaways include the importance of long-term planning, proactive engagement with policymakers, and the flexibility to address unique utility needs like reliability and decarbonization. This flipbook is an invaluable resource for utilities, regulators, and grid operators looking to leverage VPPs for enhanced grid services. Dive into the full report and explore how VPPs are revolutionizing our energy systems. Check it out on Utility Dive:
