Eaton is partnering with home energy solutions innovator LG Electronics to deliver flexible load management for renewable distributed energy applications. Eaton will integrate its intelligent power management technology, including its smart breakers and EV chargers, with the LG ThinQ Energy mobile app and LG energy management solutions to simplify load management in the home. Eaton's alliance with LG is being demonstrated in a residential virtual power plant project launching this spring with customers in Northern and Central California.

The project leverages the integration of Eaton's smart breakers and the LG ThinQ Energy app to enable holistic load control capabilities in addition to energy storage and solar PV control orchestration and aggregation. LG's vision of a distributed clean energy future for American consumers aligns with Eaton's Home as a Grid approach.
