SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the nation\u2019s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, today announced that it is activating more than 130,000 home batteries, representing over two-thirds of Sunrun\u2019s total battery fleet, to support America\u2019s power grid this summer. In its grid service programs, Sunrun has the capability of dispatching 650 megawatts of peak power\u2014enough to power 480,000 homes, or a city the size of Austin, Texas\u2014at critical times every day to help meet America\u2019s skyrocketing demand for electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is entering a period of insatiable, hockey-stick energy demand driven by manufacturing, data centers, and AI,\u201d said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. \u201cSunrun\u2019s laser focus on pairing storage with solar puts us in a position to rapidly bring new generating capacity online to stabilize the grid and help lead the nation toward energy independence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunrun\u2019s storage-first strategy has placed the company among the top five energy storage operators nationwide, with nearly a gigawatt of total battery capacity installed\u2014the equivalent of a nuclear power plant\u2019s worth of peak power. Sunrun is the largest distributed battery power plant provider and operator in the world. In the first quarter of this year, Sunrun\u2019s storage attachment rate surged to nearly 70% of new solar customers. The company accounts for roughly half of all new home battery installations in the country.<\/p>\n

Sunrun\u2019s dispatchable power plants recently provided hundreds of megawatts of peak power to the grid in several states:<\/p>\n
