VCharge

VCharge, Inc. specializes in intelligent infrastructure for energy management, focusing on transactive electric loads that enhance efficiency and reduce costs. The company develops VNet, a power management platform that coordinates distributed transactive load assets, alongside SmartBricks and SmartHydro, which are controllers for electric thermal storage heating systems. These systems manage loads from electric vehicle charging stations and compressed air systems. VCharge also provides VConsole, a web-based interface that offers control and information for users, utilities, and maintenance personnel. By aggregating and monetizing electric loads with embedded storage, VCharge enables energy arbitrage and grid services, significantly lowering energy costs for homeowners. While the technology is more prevalent in Europe, VCharge operates in North America and has established a presence in the UK. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, VCharge operates as a subsidiary of OVO Energy Limited.
