GoodLeap Expands AI-powered Virtual Power Plant Nationwide, Making Energy Plans With Home Batteries Affordable and Strengthening Grid Reliability

As part of a nationwide rollout targeting 1.5 GW over the next five years, GoodLeap's Virtual Power Plant offering in Texas expands with its own fully integrated retail offering, powered by Light (PUCT #10340).

SAN FRANCISCO and AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GoodLeap, a leading technology and financing platform for home solutions, today announced the expansion of its GoodGrid™ Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program in Texas, which is now enabled by its own integrated retail offer. GoodLeap's expansion into Texas, coupled with a recent partnership in Connecticut, highlights its commitment to rewarding homeowners for helping to protect the electrical grid while making home batteries more affordable.

In Texas, GoodLeap's own integrated retail plans are already driving significant adoption. Since launching the program, GoodLeap has seen battery attachment rates double in Texas, showing the strong consumer demand for solar plus a battery. The expansion comes at a critical moment: electricity demand in Texas is forecast to climb sharply due to population growth, extreme weather, and data center expansion.

"In the face of rising demand and costs, families need affordable energy and resilience in their homes, and energy companies need solutions that stabilize the grid," said Dan Lotano, Chief Operating and Strategy Officer at GoodLeap. "GoodGrid's AI-powered software delivers both, giving homeowners peace of mind and deploying additional energy capacity that improves reliability for communities nationwide."

The nationwide expansion builds on previous rapid growth for GoodGrid with Connecticut Green Bank and California's Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program, demonstrating a strong track record of momentum. Collectively, these programs showcase GoodLeap's commitment to scaling VPP solutions nationwide, with the goal of deploying at least 1.5 GW in batteries over the next five years.

Affordable Home Batteries with GoodGrid Cash Rewards

At the center of the program are GoodGrid cash rewards. These provide homeowners with monthly cash rebates that make batteries low or even no-cost when they sign up for the GoodGrid retail plan. This GoodGrid offer is powered by Light-- the retail platform that enables any company to offer its own unique electricity plans, branded and integrated with their products and experiences.

AI-Powered Energy Management for National Grid Stability

GoodLeap uses its proprietary AI-powered energy management software to deploy the home batteries participating in the GoodGrid program, stabilizing grids nationwide and helping lower energy prices for consumers. By forecasting demand, analyzing grid conditions, and intelligently orchestrating distributed home batteries, GoodGrid transforms individual systems into a powerful, aggregated energy resource.

During peak demand events, GoodLeap can rapidly deploy this capacity to support local utilities, prevent blackouts, and reduce strain on infrastructure. This real-time orchestration strengthens grid reliability and helps drive down wholesale energy prices — delivering benefits that extend to all consumers, not just program participants.
