Voltus, Inc. ("Voltus"), a virtual power plant (VPP) operator and distributed energy resource (DER) platform, and Octopus Energy today announced a partnership to scale load flexibility across the United States.
"The partnership will leverage Voltus’s load flexibility platform and customer base and Octopus Energy’s consumer engagement and optimization technology to build portfolios of flexible capacity for vertically integrated utilities and in U.S. wholesale electricity markets," the companies said
Voltus and Octopus will jointly deliver Flexibility-as-a-Service and Bring Your Own Capacity (BYOC) solutions to utilities, grid operators, and data centers.
As a first step, in 2026 Octopus will supply Voltus with aggregations of residential consumer devices, including smart thermostats, EVs, and home batteries, in PJM, MISO, New York, and California.
"Voltus will add this residential capacity to its existing VPP portfolios, expanding the scale and diversity of flexible resources available to these markets. In parallel, Voltus will provide its customers with the opportunity to participate in Octopus’s VPPs with its utility customers," the companies said
Nick Chaset, CEO of Octopus US, said, "By combining the unique, complementary strengths of Octopus Energy and Voltus, we can move faster to deliver flexibility at the scale the grid needs, while putting money back in consumers’ pockets."
