Voltus Raises $225M to Expand Grid Flexibility to 20 GW by 2030

Voltus, a demand-response and grid flexibility company, has raised $225 million in new funding as it pushes to become a foundational layer of the modern electrical grid, the company announced.

The capital infusion is intended to accelerate two core growth strategies: expanding the company's proprietary Bring Your Own Capacity™ program and scaling its network of connected batteries. Together, these initiatives form the backbone of Voltus's approach to aggregating distributed energy resources and making them available to grid operators during periods of peak demand.
