For utilities & grid operators

A distributed power plant utilities can buy by the megawatt.

Flip aggregates a fleet of residential batteries into firm, dispatchable capacity under long-term, pay-for-performance contracts. You contract for the capacity you need and pay only for what’s actually delivered.

Use cases

Capacity where and when the system needs it.

01

Resource adequacy & peak shaving

Firm capacity for your highest-demand hours — dispatched to shave peaks and meet resource-adequacy obligations without standing up new generation.

02

Deferring distribution upgrades

Targeted capacity on constrained circuits and substations, deferring or avoiding costly distribution upgrades where the fleet is sited.

03

Accelerating large-load interconnection

Local capacity that helps large loads interconnect faster, absorbing peaks at the grid edge while permanent infrastructure catches up.

Where the capacity comes from

Every megawatt comes from a real home.

Flip installs a battery at a homeowner’s property for a low monthly fee — with no big upfront cost to them. Backup for their home always comes first, with a protected reserve held at all times.

On high-demand days, the fleet dispatches stored power to the grid. That’s the capacity you contract for — and the incentives are aligned: homeowners get resilience, you get dispatchable MW.

1

Flip installs the battery

A local certified installer puts in a funded system — no upfront cost to the homeowner.

2

The home stays backed up

Backup comes first, with a protected reserve always held for the home.

3

The fleet dispatches to you

On peak days, stored power flows to the grid as your contracted capacity.

Speed to capacity

Months, not years.

A peaking plant is a multi-year build with siting, permitting, and interconnection risk. Flip scales capacity by deploying and enrolling home batteries that are behind the meter — adding firm capacity on a timeline measured in months.

Flexible ownership

Contract for capacity as a service, or own the batteries outright — whichever fits your utility model.

  • Capacity-as-a-service or utility-owned assets
  • Flip handles deployment and operations either way
  • Accounting and regulatory structures that fit your needs

Pay for performance

You pay for delivered capacity, verified against interval data — never nameplate.

  • Long-term capacity contracts
  • Payment tied to metered, delivered MW
  • No delivery, no payment — the downside is Flip's

Measurement & verification

Auditable data behind every settlement.

  • Device-level interval metering
  • SLA-backed dispatch performance
  • Transparent M&V for regulatory filings
Community benefit

Capacity that strengthens local communities.

Built on the local ecosystem

We deploy through local installers, financing partners, and community non-profits — keeping the work and the dollars in the region.

Local jobs and skills

Every system is installed and serviced by licensed local crews, building durable clean-energy jobs where the fleet grows.

Resilience where it's needed most

We prioritize disadvantaged and grid-vulnerable communities, extending backup power to the homes most exposed to outages.

Built around your needs

Installs shaped by your grid.

We configure each deployment around your system — where capacity is sited, how it’s sized, and how it dispatches all follow your grid’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all rollout.

  • Sited on the circuits and substations you need to relieve
  • Sized to the capacity your resource plan calls for
  • Dispatched to match your system's peak and reliability profile
  • No to low IT lift — Flip integrates with your existing systems or use our own

Let’s size capacity for your system.

Whether you’re planning for resource adequacy, a constrained circuit, or a large-load interconnection, our origination team will scope a pay-for-performance contract to fit.
