Eguana Technologies Inc. and AutoGrid announced a new partnership, to open additional VPP opportunities for power providers around the globe. Together, Eguana and AutoGrid will support grid resilience, increase sustainability and empower consumers in the transition to net zero. With the integration of Eguana's residential energy storage systems into the AutoGrid Flex??

platform, utilities can promote rapid residential storage adoption and consumer participation for energy transition. AutoGrid Flex?? supports Eguana's technology by enabling automated demand response during periods of peak demand, directing the energy storage devices to offset home energy loads, discharge energy back into the grid, and charge up when energy cost is low or from renewable sources.

As a result, VPP operators can overcome shortfalls in supply, eliminate outages, avoid additional transmission infrastructure, and bypass the need for heavily polluting peaker power plants. Further, Eguana joins AutoGrid's growing network of device makers aggregated and orchestrated into multi-asset VPP by AutoGrid's AI-driven Flex?? platform.

In combination, the two companies' solutions, along with utility rebate programs, help consumers reduce the initial cost of energy storage, cut their ongoing energy costs, and support the integration of clean, renewable energy into the grid.
