Virtual Peaker and NeoVolta Announce Partnership for Smarter Energy Storage

Virtual Peaker, a leading virtual power plant (VPP) software company, and NeoVolta (NASDAQ: NEOV), a U.S.-based energy technology company advancing resilient, scalable storage solutions for homes and businesses, have announced a strategic partnership to integrate NeoVolta’s advanced battery energy storage system (BESS) with Virtual Peaker’s VPP software. Virtual Peaker’s AI-powered platform optimizes batteries as distributed energy resources (DERs) to maximize energy savings and improve grid reliability.

“We are excited to partner with NeoVolta to provide a solution that allows batteries to be fully utilized, relied upon, and available to stabilize the grid with dependable and precise accuracy,” said Dr. William “Bill” Burke, founder and CEO of Virtual Peaker. “This collaboration empowers utilities and homeowners alike to seamlessly participate in virtual power plants, enhancing energy resilience and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable grid.”

The partnership between Virtual Peaker and NeoVolta addresses three critical energy challenges:

  • Grid Flexibility & Peak Load Management – Utilities require greater load flexibility to reduce peak demand and address challenges like the duck curve. NeoVolta’s BESS provides valuable peak reduction and valley-filling capabilities.
  • Lowering Cost of Ownership for BESS Owners – Homeowners can reduce energy costs by participating in demand response (DR) and time-of-use (TOU) programs while capitalizing on available incentives and rebates.
  • Seamless Utility Engagement & Device Management – Utilities need a streamlined method to enroll and manage customers in energy programs. Virtual Peaker’s integration offers an efficient single-workstream solution to optimize grid interactions with NeoVolta batteries.

“We’ve always believed that energy storage should do more than just sit on standby. Partnering with Virtual Peaker brings new intelligence and real-time responsiveness to our systems—unlocking more value for both utilities and homeowners,” said Ardes Johnson, CEO of NeoVolta. “Together, we’re making smarter, more flexible energy infrastructure a reality.”
