Beginning This Summer, Consumers Receive Incentives For Helping Form Grid-Balancing, Virtual Power Plants Through Their Personal Thermostats

BALTIMORE , April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading national energy solutions provider CPower Energy Management ("CPower") today announced an expansion of its existing residential portfolio through a new demand response partnership with Resideo Technologies (NYSE:REZI), a leading global provider of home comfort and security solutions and a distributed energy resource management system, and Google Nest. When grid reliability is needed, CPower will dispatch Resideo's Honeywell Home-branded smart thermostats and Google Nest smart thermostats to form virtual power plants that deliver power to PJM Interconnection, the largest grid operator in the U.S. During the inaugural year of the Connected Savings program, which begins on June 1 ahead of the Summer peak season, customers that  participate in the program will receive incentives.

"As we kick off our partnership with Resideo in the PJM market, we'll have the opportunity to reward smart energy users while benefiting the local grid," said Mathew Sachs, senior vice president, strategy and development, CPower. "Beyond smart thermostats, Resideo has other residential loads that can be leveraged to create virtual power plants and provide even greater energy resilience."

"Our goal at Resideo is to make energy-saving program participation as convenient and as expansive as possible in order to help facilitate decarbonization of the grid," said Phil Theodore, President of Products & Solutions at Resideo. "CPower's respected energy market expertise will provide our customers with a seamless experience that rewards them for relieving demand on the grid and contributing to a more sustainable environment."

CPower has been helping PJM maintain grid reliability for more than two decades through various demand response and ancillary service programs, which pay organizations for using less energy when the grid is stressed or electricity prices are exceptionally high. Beyond helping commercial and industrial customers maximize the value of their Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), CPower already helps its partners in PJM monetize residential water heaters and HVAC systems to bring demand flexibility to the grid. Nationally, CPower manages more than 5.3 GW of DER capacity.
