During peak hours when demand for energy is high, grid operators offer financial incentives to reduce energy use in order to balance the grid.
This revenue has been out of reach for all but the largest players, since most users are too small or aren’t available for enough hours every day of the year.

Join forces to balance the grid
When the electric grid is stressed, we send a signal to our partners and they reduce load through their connected homes and business - thermostats, EV chargers, and the like.

Combined with other participants, those resources form a virtual power plant. Grid operators pay Leap's virtual plant just as they do for traditional power plants, and Leap pays its partners for participating.

Extract more value from each resource
Local load is more valuable to the grid than regional, and separate loads from single participants rarely qualify as a wholesale product. Mixed and matched together they become a valuable resource.
