🚨 National Grid becomes first major U.S. utility to adopt Kraken's platform 🇺🇸 National Grid, one of America’s largest utilities, will adopt Kraken’s groundbreaking customer engagement and billing platform for over 6 million residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Massachusetts and New York. Kraken’s globally proven, cloud-based solution will dramatically enhance customer experience, drive efficiency, and enable dynamic energy services. The platform will replace legacy systems and mark a bold step forward for digital transformation in U.S. utilities. As Bill Malee, Chief Customer Officer at National Grid, puts it: “Leveraging Kraken’s industry-leading expertise will support our mission to provide exceptional service to our millions of customers across the Northeast. Once fully implemented, the Kraken platform will replace decades-old systems, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing our commitment to a customer-first approach.” National Grid’s forward-thinking approach is part of their commitment to a customer-first future powered by innovation.

🚨 Massive milestone alert 🚨 2GW of distributed energy resources are now managed by Kraken, making us the world’s largest residential virtual power plant! ⚡️🔋 That’s over 500,000 smart assets, from EVs, heat pumps, solar panels, home batteries to thermostats, all optimized in real time to flatten peak demand and boost grid resilience. 💸 Consumers are already saving more than $200m every year thanks to Kraken optimizing asset scheduling. Most of the capacity we manage comes from electric vehicles, turning idle cars into revenue-generating grid heroes. This is more than a number on a dashboard. It’s proof that consumer-led energy can be cleaner, smarter and more impactful. 🙌🌱 https://lnkd.in/eMmqXn8S #DER #VPP #CleanEnergy #EnergyTech #DERMS

🇺🇦 Octopus Energy and Ukraine's DTEK sign landmark "Resilient Independent Solar Energy" (RISE) initiative to start rebuilding the country's grid as a modern, decentralized energy system. 🇺🇦 “About 70 percent of Ukraine’s thermal generation capacity has been damaged, destroyed or seized since the full-scale invasion. This has created not only an urgent need to rebuild but also an opportunity to accelerate the shift to a decentralized, renewable energy system.” - Maxim Timchenko, CEO at DTEK. 🤖 Kraken's AI-powered operating system will serve as the technological backbone of the project: optimizing real-time generation, storage and consumption, automatically shifting loads to capture the cheapest power and enabling businesses to sell surplus energy back to the grid. #EnergyResilience #DecentralizedGrid #Renewables #Ukraine #Grid #EnergyTech https://lnkd.in/ej9mnRaZ
