SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voltus, the leading virtual power plant (VPP) operator and distributed energy resource (DER) platform, today announced record-breaking performance in 2025, to deliver $240 million in earnings and savings to customers while being dispatched 365 out of the last 365 days to support grid reliability across the U.S. and Canada. The milestone marks a definitive shift: flexible load has evolved from an emergency-only resource to essential, everyday grid infrastructure.
Throughout 2025, Voltus managed 8.1 gigawatts of flexible capacity across commercial, industrial, residential, and transportation energy users, to deliver 816,000 megawatt-hours of grid relief while avoiding nearly 450,000 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the avoided emissions of nearly half a billion pounds of coal burned. Grid operators now rely on these DERs daily to balance supply and demand—a dramatic acceleration driven by unprecedented load growth that is straining traditional grid infrastructure.
"The inflection point for load flexibility is here," said Dana Guernsey, CEO of Voltus. "Explosive data center growth is pushing the grid to its technical limits, and the market is rewarding resources that can move quickly. Our platform is built to aggregate and ramp flexible loads across complex markets, turning what used to be occasional grid emergencies into consistent revenue opportunities for our customers. Commercial innovations like our Bring Your Own Capacity™ (BYOC) product are creating new, recurring revenue streams for our customers."

From agricultural operations like Buckeye Fresh to hospitality leaders like New York Marriott Marquis, they're partners in building the grid infrastructure of the future while strengthening their own bottom lines."
