‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together’…thank you team RMI for your collaboration and support to advance creativity & energy innovation with the industry #together! So very proud of the amazing teams at Puget Sound Energy leading the way in developing and executing transformational customer energy engagement efforts, with and for our customers!
Our award-winning Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform will play a critical role in helping us meet some of the most ambitious clean energy goals in the country, in partnership with our customers: http://ms.spr.ly/6044Y7bSs
Since our launch last fall, we’ve engaged over 300,000 customers in programs to reduce or shift energy usage during periods of peak demand on the system. In addition to smart thermostats, we’ve introduced managed EV charging and will soon expand to other customer-owned devices like water heaters and batteries.
V2X: The Quasar 2 is an 11.5kW BIDIRECTIONAL CHARGER. It allows users to not only CHARGE the EV, but also DISCHARGE their EV to POWER their HOME or send energy BACK to the GRID.
By partnering with both of these companies, EV owners can gain access to utility and governmental V2G programs and get some money back. On average, this kind of a setup enables EVs to power a typical household’s energy consumption for up to four days, eliminating the need for costly home battery systems.

The challenge before everyone driving our energy transition resides in bringing together EV, DER, OEM, DERMS, ADMS, Aggregators, and VPP providers -- "every stakeholder" together to accelerate innovation and help prevent grid reliability challenges before they happen. We are proud to be partners with Brian Grunkemeyer, Tyler Phillipi, and their team at FlexCharging, who, together with Rhythmos.io, are collaborating, innovating, and sharing critical insights to successfully meet and improve the future demands of today's grid. FlexCharging and Rhythmos.io are committed to working together to unify their efforts to advance electric transportation goals.

As utilities see rising adoption of #EVs, solar and energy storage batteries, the distribution grid is an increasing area of pain. FlexCharging's utility customers ranging from rural coops to entire nation-level distribution system networks need help to preserve existing grid infrastructure (service transformers, feeders, and even substation transformers).
Everyone eagerly anticipates DERMS can see all the overloaded transformers, talk with all DERs, and implement grid orchestration. This must happen while keeping homeowners and EV drivers happy. Yet many utilities don't know how to value preserving existing assets, let alone where to target program marketing efforts or grid upgrades. No solitary solution provider has all of these pieces implemented well.
Demand Flexibility is an amazing approach for improving reliability and reducing infrastructure costs, but requires most consumer-owned devices working in a coordinated way informed by grid topology, capacity constraints, and carbon intensity.
To deliver on this value proposition, we are partnering with Rhythmos.io to go beyond our existing managed charging solution's co-optimization around price, solar, carbon emissions & peak capacity. Our customers need us to provide this necessary orchestration piece, and understand the value provided by preserving existing assets. We know Kenneth Munson, Mark Rawson, Mark Jaggassar and the Rhythmos.io team shine additional light on this obscured part of the grid, enhancing the clarity of our EVision platform.
We are looking forward to a great collaboration.

As National Clean Energy Week is marked this week, a comprehensive white paper is being released today that assesses those issues it sees as pivotal to broad electric vehicle (EV) adoption and greater progress toward home and building electrification by 2030. The new paper, Electrification2030, was produced by the Electrification Institute, recently established by Qmerit, North America’s leading installer of home and business EV chargers and other clean energy technologies. Among the crucial issues the white paper addresses: “Examining the reasons for public charging malfunctions is a key to improving public charging reliability.””Knowing how many homes have EV charging, solar panels and battery storage can help gauge America’s

⚡Bidirectional #ElectricVehicle charging offers utilities a solution to manage fluctuations in #electricity demand. While utilities traditionally deploy demand response strategies to alleviate electricity peaks by encouraging users to adjust their #energy usage, bidirectional #EVcharging presents a promising alternative. By tapping into the stored power in battery #ElectricVehicles during charging periods, utilities can support the grid during high-demand periods! 👉Check out this V2G article featuring VGIC members BorgWarner and Fermata Energy: https://lnkd.in/gCkmT39p
🇺🇸⚡️ Massachusetts leverages EV flexibility with ev.energy
We’re delighted to announce that ev.energy has become the first company to generate credits for Massachusetts’ Clean Peak Standard program through EV flexibility.
The pioneering scheme encourages clean energy production or load curtailment during peak demand periods to reduce the cost and carbon intensity of electricity. Our involvement will leverage our EV Flex Virtual Power Plant and existing community of drivers in the state to support Massachusetts’ clean energy transition.
William Goldsmith, Global Head of Grid Services at ev.energy said, “Our mission is to make electric vehicle charging greener, cheaper, and simpler and we are thrilled to be part of this cutting-edge program led by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. It is encouraging to see policies like these that put us on a path to unlock the full potential of electric vehicles, as we’ve seen with other distributed energy resources.”
