Renew Home, a Google-backed VPP company, rebranded as Everyday Electric in October 2026, expanding its flexibility offerings to include EVs, solar, and storage. CEO Ben Brown stated the new 'technology-agnostic' approach aims to help customers save over $5 billion over five years. The company acquired Smartcar to integrate EVs with energy companies and partnered with Sunrun and Tesla to sell 16 gigawatts of capacity in June 2026 for a Google-funded pilot. This follows a three-year consolidation period where major players like EnergyHub and NRG Energy also expanded their VPP capabilities.
