EnergyHub and FLO Partner to Help Utilities Manage EV Charging Load
Integration supports grid reliability by enabling FLO chargers to participate in EV managed charging programs across North America
EnergyHub, a leading provider of grid-edge flexibility, and FLO, a leading North American electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator and a smart charging solutions provider, have announced a collaboration aimed at expanding driver participation in EV managed charging programs across North America. Residential customers with FLO chargers can now enroll in EnergyHub programs and earn rewards for helping support the electrical grid.
This marks the first integration of FLO's new platform and next-generation chargers - including the FLO Home™ X3, X6 and X8 chargers - with an Edge Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) platform. Through this direct integration with EnergyHub via OpenADR, FLO customers can now participate in EV programs offered at any of EnergyHub's more than 80 utility clients.
"FLO is committed to helping EV drivers maximize the benefits of their FLO Home chargers while supporting a more resilient grid," said Julien Deschamps, Channel Development Director at FLO. "By integrating with EnergyHub, we're enabling our customers to participate in utility programs that reward them for smart charging, ensuring a more efficient use of energy across the U.S."
EnergyHub's managed charging solution assists utilities in maintaining a reliable and affordable grid through demand response and dynamic load shaping. Beyond managing load at the bulk-system level, EnergyHub's Distribution Load Optimization solution helps utilities prevent local grid asset overloads and delay the need for infrastructure upgrades.
"Integrating with FLO strengthens our industry-leading network of EV and EVSE partners and helps us deliver more value for utilities, their customers, and the grid," said Matt Johnson, VP of Business Development at EnergyHub. "We're looking forward to welcoming FLO customers to utility managed charging programs across North America."
