FranklinWH’s residential energy management system is now integrated into EnergyHub’s Edge distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) platform. The partnership will maximize customer hardware choice, supporting the rapid growth of virtual power plants (VPPs) that can be used to curb peak electricity demand and provide additional grid services.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur partnership with FranklinWH will help maximize the value of VPPs for utilities across North America,\u201d said Matt Johnson, VP Business Development at EnergyHub. \u201cThe integration accelerates program growth by allowing residential customers to participate with the devices of their choosing and will help utilities unlock new grid value through inclusion of batteries in cross-DER flexibility programs.\u201d<\/p>\n
FranklinWH is already participating in three utility programs in partnership with EnergyHub, spanning Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and North Carolina. For residential customers of participating utilities, the partnership opens new opportunities for homeowners to earn rewards for allowing the utility to discharge batteries during times of peak electricity demand, contributing to grid reliability. With the adoption of FranklinWH\u2019s energy storage technology, homeowners will also have the added benefit of whole-home backup power during outages.<\/p>\n
\u201cFranklinWH has seen growing interest from our customers in flexibility program participation, which makes us very pleased to work with EnergyHub to satisfy the market need,\u201d said Vincent Ambrose, CCO at FranklinWH Energy Storage. \u201cAs more and more utilities adopt VPPs, it\u2019s important for all of us in the market to work closely to provide solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
FranklinWH and EnergyHub plan to collaborate closely on future VPP programs throughout the U.S. and Canada, reinforcing their shared commitment to enhancing grid services and empowering consumers to take control of their energy usage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership is another step toward promoting energy storage adoption among homeowners, while also supporting the creation of VPPs that optimize multiple distributed energy resources and offer utilities more flexibility to stabilize the grid,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to welcome FranklinWH to the EnergyHub ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n
