Integration of FranklinWH whole-home energy
management system with EnergyHub Edge DERMS platform expands
customer hardware choice, helping utilities scale programs and
enabling new cross-DER grid services capabilities.
EnergyHub, a leading provider of grid-edge flexibility, and
FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc. (FranklinWH), a leader in whole-home
energy management, have partnered to integrate FranklinWH’s
whole-home energy management system with 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.
“Our partnership with FranklinWH will help maximize the value of
VPPs for utilities across North America,” said Matt Johnson, VP
Business Development at EnergyHub. “The 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.”
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’s
energy storage technology, homeowners will also have the added
benefit of whole-home backup power during outages.
“FranklinWH 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,” said Vincent
Ambrose, CCO at FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc. “As more and more
utilities adopt VPPs, it’s important for all of us in the market to
work closely to provide solutions.”
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.
“This partnership is another step towards 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,” said Johnson. “We’re pleased to welcome FranklinWH to the
EnergyHub ecosystem.”
