~69,000 Powerwall owners across California are currently dispatching more than 500 MW to the grid, helping meet peak demand during today's heatwave Equivalent to the output of a power plant, but from Powerwalls already in people's homes

We’re excited to join @PGE4Me and @Google on a new distributed power plant program in the San Jose area that brings our speed-to-power vision with Renew Home and @teslaenergy to life. Working together, Sunrun, Renew Home, and Tesla will enroll nearly 21,000 existing home energy devices into the program, immediately unlocking 12 MW of local energy capacity through demand response and battery dispatch. The new capacity is expected to begin supporting the grid as early as fall 2026. The program plans to test how energy already stored and managed in homes through batteries, home solar, and smart thermostats can help relieve local grid constraints and make better use of existing infrastructure while helping put downward pressure on rates for everyone in the region. Most importantly, the program provides benefits to customers for their participation. Sunrun customers can receive up to $200 per battery enrolled in the program. “Home energy devices hold enormous, untapped capacity that can meaningfully improve affordability and reliability for all Californians,” said Mary Powell, CEO of Sunrun. “This initiative unlocks that potential while giving customers an opportunity to share in the economic benefits of helping improve their local grid." “We’re excited to support this initiative to unlock the potential of local distributed energy resources to support grid capacity and resiliency while delivering meaningful benefits for local communities,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Global Head of Energy & Power at Google. “SHARE shows how investing in customers can unlock grid capacity, support growth, and bring real benefits back to communities,”said Chelle Izzi, Chief Commercial Officer, PG&E.
