Voltus and Enertiv: A Powerful Partnership for Commercial Real Estate Efficiency

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the energy transition, strategic partnerships are emerging as a driving force behind enhanced efficiency and sustainability. One such alliance is the recent collaboration between Voltus, Inc. and Enertiv, which aims to unlock new revenue opportunities and energy savings for commercial real estate stakeholders. By integrating Voltus's demand response capabilities with Enertiv's operational intelligence platform, the partnership is poised to revolutionize energy management in the commercial real estate sector.

Voltus, a leading distributed energy resource (DER) software platform and virtual power plant operator, specializes in connecting distributed energy resources to electricity markets. This enables commercial and industrial customers to generate cash by allowing Voltus to maximize the value of their flexible load, distributed generation, energy storage, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle resources in these markets. Enertiv, on the other hand, is an operational intelligence platform for commercial real estate, focusing on collecting and verifying real-time utility data to maximize data coverage, automate reporting, and deliver actionable energy-saving insights for landlords and tenants.

The strategic partnership between Voltus and Enertiv allows Enertiv's customers to participate in Voltus's demand response programs, earning revenue, reducing monthly electricity bills, and avoiding carbon emissions. This collaboration not only addresses regulatory compliance but also provides enriched energy usage data, supporting decarbonization efforts across commercial properties in the U.S. and Canada. By leveraging Enertiv's device-level metering data, landlords already signed up with Enertiv can integrate the Voltus platform without the need for additional hardware installations.

The partnership is active across all wholesale markets in the U.S. and Canada, enabling commercial real estate customers to comply with building regulations while creating new revenue streams. As Dan Svejnar, SVP of Growth at Voltus, noted, "Commercial buildings in the United States are responsible for 18% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. This partnership allows commercial real estate customers to comply with building regulations while creating new revenue streams."

The integration of Voltus's demand response capabilities with Enertiv's operational intelligence platform offers several key benefits and revenue opportunities for property owners and tenants, contributing to decarbonization efforts:

1. Demand Response Revenue Opportunities: By participating in Voltus's demand response programs, property owners and tenants can earn revenue while reducing their electricity bills and carbon emissions.
2. Energy Savings: The partnership unlocks additional energy usage data for Enertiv's customers, enabling them to further improve their energy procurement and risk management strategies, leading to cost savings and reduced carbon emissions.
3. Regulatory Compliance: The partnership addresses regulatory compliance by providing enriched energy usage data, supporting decarbonization efforts across commercial properties in the U.S. and Canada.
4. Asset Optimization and ESG Reporting: Enertiv's platform helps property owners and tenants power ESG reporting, asset optimization, and decarbonization by collecting and verifying real-time utility data, maximizing data coverage, and delivering actionable energy-saving insights.
5. New Revenue Streams: The partnership allows commercial real estate customers to create new revenue streams while complying with building regulations.

In conclusion, the strategic partnership between Voltus and Enertiv is a game-changer for the commercial real estate sector, offering new revenue opportunities and energy savings while supporting decarbonization efforts. By integrating Voltus's demand response capabilities with Enertiv's operational intelligence platform, property owners and tenants can enhance energy efficiency and sustainability, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future. As the energy transition continues to gain momentum, strategic partnerships like this one will play a crucial role in driving progress and innovation in the industry.
