@nchaset@OctopusEnergyUS The gap is staggering:
- US virtual power plants: 5% participation

We’re doubling down on a customer-powered grid ⚡️
With a majority stake in @Uplight, and working with @SchneiderElec, we’re helping utilities tap into flexible capacity faster, no need to rely solely on expensive infrastructure.
The future is flexible 💪
We’ve just acquired a majority stake in @Uplight , partnering with @SchneiderElec to harness people-powered energy flexibility for millions across North America ⚡️
Electricity demand in the U.S. is surging, driven by AI data centres and the rapid growth of electrotech like EVs, batteries and solar. Utilities need new ways to keep the grid reliable and affordable.
Uplight works with over 85 utilities, including eight of the ten largest in the U.S., helping turn customer participation and distributed energy resources into dependable grid capacity.
The deal marks a major step for the teams of both Octopus and Kraken – opening the door to accelerate our expansion in the U.S.
Together with @krakentech_ , we’ll combine world-class customer and flexibility technologies to scale demand-side response for North American utilities, helping lower costs for consumers while strengthening energy security and grid stability..
The future grid will be increasingly customer-powered.
We’re excited to help build it.

As of March 1st, 2026, all TDUs across the deregulated Texas energy market updated their delivery charges, so the average price you'll pay for electricity is changing.
We're all about being upfront with you on every charge on your bill. While we can't control TDSP rates, we'll always make sure you know what you're paying for and why.
