Voltus and SemaConnect Partner to Deliver Grid Support to Wholesale Power Markets Using Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Voltus, Inc., a frontrunner in the distributed energy resource (DER) software platform realm, has recently announced a promising partnership with SemaConnect, a pioneering figure in the electric vehicle charging services industry. This strategic alliance aims to provide SemaConnect’s workplace charging clients throughout U.S. and Canadian wholesale power markets with opportunities to generate cash. This collaborative endeavor signifies a powerful step towards innovation and sustainability in the energy sector, pushing forward the boundaries of what’s possible in the integration of electric vehicle charging services and distributed energy resources.

“Integrating with Voltus is part of our strategic growth strategy allowing our stations to connect to wholesale power markets,” said Mahi Reddy, CEO and Founder at SemaConnect. “As more workplaces plug into the EV grid, smart features such as grid optimization and access to cash generating market opportunities are essential to support the growth of EVs. Our integration with Voltus will drive grid reliability and open new avenues for our clients to recoup investments in EV charging infrastructure.”

“We are empowering SemaConnect’s workplace customers to earn cash while supporting grid resilience by connecting EV charging stations to operating reserves markets, beginning with the PJM Interconnection and followed by the remaining U.S. and Canadian markets,” said Gregg Dixon, CEO of Voltus. “As more companies welcome their employees back to the office, we believe workplace EV charging demand will grow, increasing customers’ earning potential.”

At the core of their operations, SemaConnect – with its extensive network of over 15,000 stations spread across North America – is a firm believer in the transformative power of electrification. Their vision is to make electric transport a reality within this decade through the development and deployment of smart, cost-effective EV charging solutions on a global scale.

The Voltus software platform, on the other hand, serves as a crucial conduit between distributed energy resources (DERs) and electricity markets, optimizing the availability of these resources for grid operators. Catering to a broad spectrum of DER asset types – from small-scale residential resources like smart thermostats to large-scale manufacturing facilities, data centers, and big box retail stores – Voltus has established itself as a one-of-a-kind DER software platform participating in all nine U.S. and Canadian wholesale power markets.

Voltus positions itself as the leader in providing software that links distributed energy resources to electricity markets, resulting in electricity that is not only less costly and more reliable but also more sustainable. Their commercial and industrial customers, as well as their DER partners, benefit financially as Voltus maximizes the value of their flexible load, distributed generation, energy storage, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle resources in these markets.
