The Agreement
Under the framework, Sunrun, Renew Home, and Tesla will aggregate millions of existing home energy devices—including home battery systems, smart thermostats, and electric vehicles—into local, turnkey power solutions for data centers and utilities.
The combined 16-gigawatt resource draws dispatchable capacity from hundreds of thousands of home battery systems operated by Sunrun and Tesla, alongside flexible peak capacity from more than 8 million smart thermostats and devices managed by Renew Home. The framework requires no additional hardware, software, interconnection, water, or land usage—and is deployable in months, not years.
