How It Works

What Is a Virtual Power Plant?

Instead of utilities building only giant power plants, thousands of homes with batteries are connected through software — acting like one giant "virtual" power plant across the region.

Your home battery becomes part of a regional energy network. And the most common concern:

"Wait — are they taking my backup power away?"
  • Your program is designed to keep your reserve in place — the grid draws on the surplus, not your safety net
  • Most programs let you set a protected reserve of 20–30% for your own outage protection
  • When 10,000 homes each contribute a little energy, together they prevent outages for everyone
It's 110°F. Every AC in Texas is running.

Why Homeowners Join

Four Reasons Texas Homeowners Say Yes

The program is designed around what matters to you — protection first, savings second.

🔋

Backup Power During Outages

Lights, fridge, medical devices, internet, and AC stay on when the grid goes down. That peace of mind is the biggest reason homeowners join.

💵

Lower, Predictable Bills

Lock in a 9.5¢/kWh all-in rate and stop worrying about price spikes. Know exactly what your electricity costs — month after month.

🏷️

Zero Out-of-Pocket to Start

No down payment, no installation cost, and your first $20 lease payment isn't due until 30 days after your system is installed.

🔌

Energy Independence

Less dependence on the grid, more control over your electricity, and protection from rising rates — for the life of the agreement.

The Bigger Picture

Why Texas Homeowners Need This Now

The Texas grid faces unique pressures — and your home battery is part of the solution.

ERCOT Stands Alone

Texas's grid operates largely independently — unlike other states, Texas can't easily import emergency power when demand spikes.

📈

Demand Keeps Growing

Population growth, AI data centers, EV charging, and record-breaking heat are pushing the Texas grid harder every single year.

🌡️

Extreme Weather

From 110°F summers to devastating ice storms, Texas homeowners live with grid stress that most of the country never experiences.

🏘️

Local Flexibility Wins

Distributed home batteries in neighborhoods are dramatically cheaper and faster to deploy than building new power plants.

Texas Remembers What Happens When the Grid Fails

Winter Storm Uri, summer brownouts, tornado outages, and ice storms have made energy security deeply personal for Texas families. A whole-home battery means your family doesn't go through that again.
