VPP platform profiles

EnergyHub is the software many utilities use to run their own device programs. An Alarm.com subsidiary, it reports more than 240 utility clients, 2.6 million enrolled devices, and about 3.5 GW of flexible capacity (Business Wire). In 2025 it ran 3,140 events (EnergyHub).

It operates National Grid’s ConnectedSolutions platform, one of the DOE’s model programs (DOE Liftoff), and is testing residential vehicle-to-grid in Massachusetts.

For households, EnergyHub is usually invisible: you enroll through your utility or thermostat app, and the utility pays you.

Renew Home combines the former Google Nest Renew and OhmConnect businesses. It works with NRG on a 1 GW Texas VPP and with Rheem on connected water heaters, and estimates 16 GW of flexible water heating potential nationally (Renew Home).

It enrolls devices people already own, so the per-home payment is modest but the cost of joining is close to zero.

Tesla enrolls Powerwall owners in California’s DSGS and utility emergency programs from the Tesla app; it says DSGS can pay up to $280 a year per Powerwall but that payment depends on Tesla receiving program funds (Tesla).

Sunrun pays CalReady customers $50–$150 per battery a year and keeps a 20% reserve for outages (Sunrun). Because Sunrun owns many of the systems on its customers’ roofs, it can enroll them at scale; pv magazine reported Sunrun systems made up about 55% of roughly 110,000 Powerwalls in Tesla’s California dispatch (pv magazine USA).
