EnergyHub is a technology company.
EnergyHub delivers a distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) for electric utilities to optimize grids. Its platform orchestrates smart devices, like thermostats and EV chargers, into virtual power plants (VPPs). This provides crucial grid flexibility, helping utilities manage demand, integrate renewables, and enhance stability by balancing supply at the network's edge.
Co-founded by Seth Frader-Thompson in 2007, EnergyHub arose from recognizing smart devices as an untapped grid resource. Frader-Thompson, as CEO, saw the potential to aggregate and control these distributed assets. His insight aimed to provide critical flexibility for an evolving power grid, moving beyond centralized generation.
Electric utilities are EnergyHub’s primary adopters, modernizing infrastructure and integrating distributed energy resources. They use the system for improved grid reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. The company envisions accelerating a transition to a cleaner, resilient energy system, maximizing distributed asset value for a smarter, dynamically balanced grid.

EnergyHub is a technology company that builds software platforms enabling utilities to harness millions of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as connected thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, and batteries to create virtual power plants (VPPs). These solutions help utilities manage grid reliability, integrate renewable energy, and reduce carbon emissions by transforming complex, distributed assets into reliable grid resources. EnergyHub serves utilities and grid operators, addressing the challenge of balancing intermittent renewable generation with grid demand while empowering consumers to control and reduce their energy consumption. The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum through partnerships with over 60 utilities and grid operators, managing portfolios of 70+ residential and commercial VPPs that support hundreds of thousands of customers in the energy transition[1][4][5].
EnergyHub was founded by a team with expertise in technology and clean energy, emerging from the need to modernize the electric grid as consumers increasingly adopt distributed energy technologies. The company’s early traction came from developing software and hardware solutions that connect home devices into a Home Area Network (HAN), allowing real-time energy monitoring and control. A pivotal moment was its acquisition by Alarm.com in 2013, which expanded its reach and resources. Since then, EnergyHub has evolved to focus on its distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) platform, which utilities use to scale VPPs and manage load growth and renewables efficiently[2][3][4].
EnergyHub rides the global trend toward decarbonization and decentralization of the electric grid, driven by increasing adoption of renewable energy, electric vehicles, and smart home technologies. The timing is critical as utilities face growing grid complexity and the need for flexible, software-driven solutions to maintain reliability and meet climate goals. Market forces such as regulatory support for clean energy, rising consumer engagement, and advances in IoT and cloud computing favor EnergyHub’s platform. By enabling utilities to leverage DERs as virtual power plants, EnergyHub influences the broader ecosystem by accelerating the clean energy transition and fostering innovation in grid management[1][3][5].
EnergyHub is positioned to expand its influence as the energy sector increasingly relies on distributed resources and digital platforms. Future trends shaping its journey include greater electrification, expanded EV adoption, and evolving regulatory frameworks that incentivize grid flexibility. The company’s continued innovation in DERMS technology and its growing utility partnerships suggest it will play a pivotal role in enabling a cleaner, more resilient grid. As virtual power plants become mainstream, EnergyHub’s platform could become foundational infrastructure for utilities worldwide, deepening its impact on the energy transition and consumer empowerment[5][6].
EnergyHub has raised $15.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $15.0M Series B in August 2011.
