Home energy security for when the unexpected happens.
A local Sunrun employee was impacted by the Norte fire in San Clemente this past weekend. Thanks to his home solar and storage system, his family had over 13 hours of backup power, bringing peace of mind in the middle of the chaos.
We’re glad his family and neighbors are safe, and grateful to the first responders who worked to protect the community.

During California's intense heat wave earlier this month, home batteries delivered 745 MW of average power to the state’s grid for several hours, setting a new record for the largest residential distributed power plant dispatch in U.S. history.
On back-to-back nights, Sunrun and Tesla answered the call from the CA Energy Commission to support the grid and put downward pressure on energy prices. In addition to strengthening grid reliability, Sunrun also puts money back in the pockets of households that share their energy with the grid.
Sunrun CEO Mary Powell said, "These record-setting events prove that the energy infrastructure already installed in people’s homes can deliver power at a scale that makes a real difference for the grid.”

A historic moment for American energy: 140,000+ home batteries | 580 megawatts
As California baked under extreme heat and energy demand surged on September 9, Sunrun and @teslaenergy dispatched more than 140,000 home batteries, delivering 580 MW of peak power to the state's grid in the largest residential distributed power plant event ever recorded in the United States.
The dispatch event provided enough capacity to power every household in Sacramento County during peak hours. The extra power helped increase the grid's operating margin and put downward pressure on real-time energy prices for everyone in the state.
Through grid service programs like DSGS and ELRP, home storage and solar are doing more than providing backup power and energy security to families. They’re helping make the grid more affordable and reliable while reducing the need for costly new poles, wires, and peaker plants.
Everyday homeowners are keeping California's grid stable and making history in the process, all while being compensated for it. That’s the energy future we’re building in America.

With affordability and speed to power at the center of today’s energy conversation, Virginia is recognizing a critical piece of the equation: the fastest, lowest-cost path to more power starts with getting more value out of the infrastructure we already have.
Governor Abigail Spanberger’s recently announced Virginia Energy Plan calls for the "deployment of 10 GW of aggregated DER participation by 2045 as a key strategy to most effectively meet demand growth while reducing overall system costs."
Sunrun is helping make that future possible. Through our partnership with Everyday Electric (formerly Renew Home) and Tesla, we are making 16.8 gigawatts of flexible capacity available to support the grid nationwide today. In Virginia, 300 megawatts are available for immediate deployment, with capacity expected to grow to at least 500 megawatts by 2030.
By installing new distributed energy resources in homes and coordinating them with millions of existing devices, we can bring flexible capacity online quickly, reduce peak demand, strengthen grid resilience, and help lower energy costs for American households.

@PalletPineWine We sent an email to their team, we do not expect them to answer as they do not work weekends, but they will be reaching out this coming week.
