Together, they\u2019re creating new opportunities for Ameren\u2019s residential customers to earn rewards while helping keep the grid reliable and accelerating decarbonization.<\/p>\n<p>Through the partnership, Ameren Illinois customers with in-home smart thermostats across central and southern Illinois can enroll in EnergyHub\u2019s Bring Your Own Thermostat\u00ae program with CPower acting as the VPP\u2019s market participant for MISO. The program provides participants with a $50 enrollment incentive via gift card and an additional $25 annually to customers who opt in to help ensure grid reliability during summer peaks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs adoption of smart devices like connected thermostats, electric vehicles, and batteries accelerates, consumers have an important role to play in the future of our energy system,\u201d said Erika Diamond, Senior Vice President, Customer Solutions at EnergyHub. \u201cOur partnership with CPower enables Ameren customers to contribute to a clean, distributed energy future and rewards them for their contributions to the grid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with EnergyHub to expand our residential portfolio and further support grid reliability across North America,\u201d said Glenn Bogarde, Senior Vice President of Sales at CPower. \u201cGrid operators in the Midwest are increasingly recognizing the many ways in which VPPs help create a cleaner, more reliable grid and we\u2019re proud that innovation at the residential level is playing a more vital role in VPP success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the CPower and EnergyHub partnership, we are unlocking the value from Distributed Energy Resources, empowering our communities to become more active managers of their energy and building a more resilient and sustainable energy future,\u201d said Kristol Simms, Vice President, Clean Energy Transition, Economic, Community &amp; Business Development, Ameren Illinois.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About CPower Energy<br \/>\n<\/strong>CPower Energy is the leading, national Distributed Energy Resource (DER) monetization and Virtual Power Plant provider, creating the Customer-Powered Grid\u00ae that will enable a flexible, clean and dependable energy future.
