ecobee\u2019s Grid Resiliency Service Unlocks 2.8 GW of Capacity <\/b>in the U.S. and Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

Report Shows 108 MW Delivered in Summer 2025<\/i><\/p>\n

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAn independent evaluation<\/a> from Demand Side Analytics (DSA) reports that ecobee\u2019s new Grid Resiliency service delivered 108 megawatts (MW) of critical capacity during the Summer 2025 peak demand season. This demonstrates the potential to unlock 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of capacity across the U.S. and Canada as grids face increasing strain from extreme weather and rising electricity demand.<\/p>\n

\nGrid Resiliency (GR) is now part of ecobee\u2019s thermostat optimization platform eco+<\/a>. GR allows grid operators to intelligently reduce energy demand for all eco+ enrolled homes, augmenting traditional demand response programs. By simplifying enrollment and providing a seamless customer experience, ecobee delivers a mass market solution that meaningfully increases dispatchable capacity.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen the grid is under stress, speed and scale matter,\u201d said Tamara Dzubay, Senior Director, ecobee Energy. \u201cWhat is encouraging about the DSA report is that it shows how everyday homes, working quietly in the background, can have a material positive impact on improving the resiliency of our energy grid. Grid Resiliency helps us take another important step towards our mission of simplifying everyday life while creating a more sustainable world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDuring a stress event, GR makes minor temperature adjustments that can support reliability when operated at scale. These small, temporary adjustments are designed to reduce energy usage when needed most, while maintaining comfort. Importantly, homeowners remain in full control and can opt-out of a GR event at any time, but results have demonstrated consistently high participation rates.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt was remarkable to find that the per-device load impact and participation rates of ecobee\u2019s Grid Resiliency program were similar to traditional utility demand response programs,\u201d said Jesse Smith, partner, Demand Side Analytics. \u201cThe Grid Resiliency service shows tremendous potential to harness the demand reduction potential of small offsets across millions of homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key Results from Grid Reliability Events<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe report examined 11 GR events across CAISO, ERCOT, and SPP territories, with more than 143,000 ecobee devices enrolled.<\/p>\n
