FranklinWH and EnergyHub Partner to Accelerate Virtual Power Plant Growth Across North America
EnergyHub and FranklinWH have announced a partnership to integrate FranklinWH's whole-home energy management system with EnergyHub's Edge DERMS platform. The collaboration aims to expand virtual power plants (VPPs) across North America. FranklinWH is currently participating in three utility programs through this partnership across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and North Carolina. The integration enables residential customers to earn rewards by allowing utilities to discharge batteries during peak electricity demand periods, while also providing whole-home backup power during outages.

Insights
The partnership between FranklinWH and EnergyHub represents a strategic advancement in the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) sector, though its immediate financial impact on Alarm.com (ALRM) appears EnergyHub, a subsidiary of Alarm.com, is expanding its DERMS platform reach through this integration, which could incrementally boost the company's energy management revenue stream.
The collaboration is already active in four states, suggesting near-term revenue potential. However, the deal's financial terms aren't disclosed, making it difficult to quantify the impact on ALRM's bottom line. The partnership's value lies in its potential to accelerate VPP adoption and create recurring revenue through utility programs, but this will likely materialize gradually over time.
While positive for EnergyHub's market position, this partnership represents a small component of Alarm.com's overall business model and is unlikely to significantly move the needle on the stock in the short term.
