APIs that unlock the full value of your DERs
Automate your access to wholesale power markets with the industry’s easiest and most robust APIs.
Automation to simplify participation
The days of emergency-only demand response are long gone. Today, grid operators rely on demand response and virtual power plants (VPPs) not just for emergencies, but for grid balancing and fast-responding ancillary services, creating more revenue opportunities than ever for commercial, industrial, transportation, and residential distributed energy resource (DER) owners.
The easiest way to participate in an evolving grid
Voltus’s APIs help DER owners keep up with the evolving grid. Our platform enables rapid enrollment, automates dispatch participation in as little as 10 minutes notice, and dynamically manages resource availability at scale. Whether you’re operating a single large site or thousands of small ones, Voltus helps you scale participation, meet tight response windows, and unlock the full value of your load flexibility.
Enroll more MW into more programs, to earn more revenue
Connect any DER type to energy markets
Voltus APIs have earned tens of millions of dollars for smart thermostats, batteries, generators, EVs, management systems, and more.
Leverage your existing meter data to expand revenue streams
