(New York) August 13th, 2024 - EnergyHub, a leading provider of grid-edge flexibility, and Emporia, a top energy management solutions provider, today announced the integration of multiple Emporia distributed energy resources (DERs) with EnergyHub’s virtual power plant (VPP) platform.

This collaboration incorporates Emporia’s electric vehicle (EV) chargers and energy storage products within EnergyHub’s Edge Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS), enabling grid-aware cross-DER optimization for utilities.

“The integration of Emporia’s EV chargers and energy storage products with EnergyHub's platform expands the capabilities of VPPs for EnergyHub clients,” said Matt Johnson, VP of Business Development at EnergyHub. “The ability to dispatch multiple types of Emporia devices provides our clients with greater bulk and distribution grid benefits and allows us to deliver additional value from flexibility programs.”

Utility customers who use Emporia chargers are already participating in several EnergyHub EV programs. EnergyHub expects to start enrolling Emporia battery customers, alongside the existing EVSE customers, in multiple programs by the end of the year.

Emporia’s expertise in whole-home energy management, competitive product offerings, and streamlined device enrollment process through a single app makes the company an ideal partner for scaling VPPs.

“This integration is an important step toward offering a comprehensive suite of incentives for homeowners pursuing whole-home electrification,” said Shawn McLaughlin, CEO of Emporia. “Our intuitive app simplifies the enrollment process for all utility rebates, encouraging customer participation. This collaboration supports Emporia's mission to help people use energy smarter and save money.”
