Gigafactories build the batteries. OpenVPP puts them to work. OpenVPP World has just crossed the 1 Gigawatt milestone. Metering and settling on-chain over 1,000,000 kWh across 2.5M+ miles driven. The physical grid needs gigafactories. The digital grid needs a network to run on. 🌐 world.openvpp.energy $OVPP The Internet of Energy.

We’re excited to share that Solar PV and Smart Thermostats are live in production for you to connect on OpenVPP World. 🌐 world.openvpp.energy With over $30M in Tokenized EVs as RWAs already online, now more flexible capacity joins to power the network. $OVPP The Internet of Energy.

Smart thermostats were among the first residential and commercial demand response assets deployed at scale by grid providers, well before electric vehicles, rooftop solar, and energy storage systems became commercialized norms. HVAC (heating, ventiallting, and air conditioning) loads are a critical component of grid reliability, particularly during peak summer demand and extreme heat events. In fact, one of the biggest bottlenecks in demand response programs is customer participation --> electric providers today rely on SMS and email notifications, requiring customers to manually walk up to their thermostats and adjust make it hotter indoors on really hot days. Imagine if you're a real estate investor and manage multiple commercial businesses and/or properties. The emergence of smart thermostats such as Nest and Ecobee automated much of this process for enrolled participants, now tokenized via OVPP World ERC1155 Standard. 🌐 world.openvpp.energy/ OpenVPP solves three critical challenges in program dispatch and customer engagement: 1) Users can connect multiple device classes across different OEMs through a single mobile first interface. 2) Participants can receive instant settlements in digital assets when program payout structures support real time rewards. 3) The customer experience becomes interactive and competitive. Participants can view their local Virtual Power Plants, track performance, and compete with other wallets for a share of event rewards. As billions of distributed energy resources come online, the future of grid participation will depend on seamless interoperability, automated dispatch, real time incentives, and engaging customer experiences. The goal is to transform every DER (distributed energy resource) in the world, into an active and agentic participant in electric & power markets. $OVPP The Internet of Energy.

Distributed energy needs to be part of the grid’s operating system. EVs, chargers, batteries, HVAC, solar, and smart meters are capable of much more than sitting at the edge. But many of these devices still do not actively participate in grid programs. Grid Rails helps bring them onto the network as programmable market participants. The platform gives operators a way to see what is connected, coordinate participation, measure what happened, and settle the contribution at the event level. That is how distributed devices move from untapped capacity to active grid participation. Book a demo: gridrails.ai
