Siemens has announced its partnership with EnergyHub to expand its ecosystem of partners for its grid software business.
The two companies will interface their complementary solutions to empower utilities to move towards a holistic and scalable end-to-end next generation distributed energy resources (DER) management solution.
DERMS platform
EnergyHub provides a top-tier grid-edge management solution, which combines its DERMS platform with turnkey program management to enable utilities to scale grid-edge flexibility. EnergyHub controls all classes of DERs including thermostats, electric vehicles, energy storage, and solar inverters. The company works with over 60 North American utilities to manage more than 1.3 GW of flexible capacity.
Benefit to utilities
Thanks to the collaboration, utilities will have better DER visibility, forecasting, and management, which will enable them to better plan, operate and maintain an increasingly DER-centric grid in the future by breaking down silos across utilities.

Siemens Grid Software
About 70 per cent of the world’s electricity consumption or 16,000 TWh each year already flows through infrastructure simulated by Siemens’ grid software. Today, 1,300 control center systems – that operate and control grids – based on Siemens’ software are in operation worldwide, keeping the lights on for hundreds of millions of people.
The Siemens Grid Software Suite is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform designed to accelerate the digital transformation and value creation across industries, transportation, grids and buildings. An important aspect of this strategy is an ecosystem of partners with complementary portfolios.
