Virtual Peaker Integrates with Sensi by Copeland

Virtual Peaker, a cloud-based SaaS company that empowers modern utilities with the friendliest distributed energy platform on the planet, announced its integration with Sensi smart thermostats by Copeland. Sensi smart thermostat users will now be able to participate in utility demand response programs and earn incentives in exchange for reducing energy usage during peak demand with the utility.

This partnership provides consumers with various thermostat choices and utilities with the opportunity to manage peak energy demand and engage with more customer segments in the US and Canada. 

“We’re excited to partner with Copeland, a leader in smart thermostats,” said Eric Van Orden, Director of Technology Partnerships at Virtual Peaker. “Although smart thermostats have been around for over a decade, we are just now moving past the early adopters and into the mass market. Copeland’s Sensi smart thermostat portfolio provides both affordable and high-end options. When paired with Virtual Peaker and utility programs, customers can now get additional value through incentives.”

“Partnering with Virtual Peaker allows us to deliver value to energy users and greater peak load reduction to the grid,” said Brendan O’Toole, vice president, Sensi product platform for Copeland. “Sensi smart thermostats provide a great customer experience and when pairing our industry-leading API with Virtual Peaker’s technology, can also provide utilities with the savings they need to be successful with their demand response programs.”
