Voltus

Voltus is a virtual power plant operator that pays commercial, industrial, and residential energy users to reduce or shift electricity use during grid stress, then monetizes that flexibility across all nine wholesale power markets in the US and Canada via demand response, capacity, and ancillary services. The platform manages 8.1 GW of distributed energy resources across 22,000+ sites, has paid out $200M+ to customers, and works with brands like Walmart, Madison Square Garden, and Chesapeake Energy. Voltus had a planned SPAC merger in 2021 that was terminated in 2022; its last priced round was a $31M Series C in 2021. The company is fully remote across the US and Canada, with 12-week parental leave, flexible PTO, and team summits.
