Voltus operates a demand response platform that pays commercial and industrial customers to reduce electricity use during grid stress events, acting as a virtual power plant.
Voltus is a demand response and distributed energy resource management company founded in 2016 that aggregates commercial and industrial electricity users into virtual power plants that grid operators can call upon during peak demand or stress events. The platform connects large electricity consumers including manufacturers, data centers, cold storage facilities, and commercial buildings, enrolling their flexible loads in demand response programs that pay customers for the ability to curtail consumption when the grid needs relief. Voltus manages over 3,000 megawatts of demand flexibility across North American electricity markets, making it one of the largest demand response aggregators in the continent. The company raised $75M and processes over $100M in annual customer payments for grid services. As the electricity grid incorporates more intermittent renewable energy, demand flexibility becomes increasingly valuable as a complement to storage and transmission for managing supply-demand balance. Voltus enables commercial customers to monetize operational flexibility they already have without capital investment in new equipment.
