Climate CEOs: Scaling Startups

Retail Electricity + Battery Monetization: Competitive Market Disruption


Listen Later

Discover how David Energy optimizes retail power & storage integration, generating new revenue streams & delivering low-cost electricity.


Led by James McGinniss, David Energy operates as both an electricity retailer and behind-the-meter energy storage aggregator allowing the company to more accurately predict and control energy consumption thereby saving consumers money on their monthly bills through the monetization of their storage assets.

Below are two excerpts from the podcast.

"David Energy is a reference to the classic story of David vs. Goliath, which we believe is representative of the emergence of the individual electricity consumer with the rise of distributed energy systems that prioritize consumers over big centralized utilities."

"David Energy is essentially a wealth manager for customers’ energy assets such as batteries. Ultimately, we buy power in wholesale markets with the consumer insight that is provided by the data from our network of customers who have granted us access to their devices. This allows us to more accurately predict and control consumption and pass the consequent savings directly to customers. By doing so, we monetize these assets, through our certification as an electricity retailer, when they are not needed for home backup energy. This makes us different than a standalone software provider that would not have the access to electricity markets to truly enable many of the services we provide."

Here is the transcript summary of the podcast.
