Virtual Peaker is a Virtual Power Plants company based in Kentucky. They’re helping utilities like Vermont’s Green Mountain Power control thermostats, water heaters, batteries and EVs to balance the grid.
They offer a cloud-based software platform that’s being used by more than a dozen U.S. utilities to connect to, communicate with and provide real-time control over a wide range of household devices.
They are similar in a way to Uplight, EnergyHub, and AutoGrid. But they don’t manage programs for utilities; they are purely SaaS.
They also offer an energy demand forecasting product for utilities.
