Packetized Energy is a small IT services and IT consulting company based in Burlington, Vermont. It offers software that treats electricity usage as a flexible resource by coordinating networks of connected devices into virtual batteries that utilities can tap in real time. The system aggregates residential and small commercial assets—such as water heaters, HVAC systems, EV chargers, solar inverters, and distributed batteries—into a single grid resource, enabling real-time responses to grid conditions and supporting cleaner, more affordable energy use. Utilities can realize savings by deploying virtual batteries across connected devices, with potential benefits cited as roughly $200 per year per device from ancillary services, avoided capacity, wholesale energy arbitrage, and reduced capital needs for transmission and distribution. In 2023, Packetized Energy was acquired by EnergyHub, indicating its technology will continue within a broader platform for grid-edge load management.
