Der Marketplace Piclo has announced the launch of its platform in California. Piclo’s Marketplace enables operators of batteries, smart EV chargers and demand response systems to sell their flexible energy capacity to utilities and community choicegregators (CCAs) throughout the state.
Sunrun is the first partner to mention the charging capacity on the market, which contributes to more than 30 MW flexible storage capacity that is already available in several providers in the entire state. With extra der -aggregators announced in the coming weeks, the platform offers a series of products with which buyers can protect flexible sources, so that the requirements of the Resource Adequacy (RA) of California are directly supported.
“We are very happy to bring this platform to California,” said James Johnston, CEO of Piclo. “Although the challenges for the Raster of California are known, it is less recognized the considerable amount of untouched flexible capacity throughout the state. By offering a platform for the owners and aggregators to earn income with this capacity, we unlock value and help helping utilities and CCAs better results. This is just the beginning and we look forward to scaling with new partners and products in the coming months. “
The Piclo Marketplace streamlines the purchasing process for CCAs, allowing them to protect load-modifying sources well for important deadlines, such as the CEC predicting deadline of 1 April. These sources will help CCAs meet their RA obligations by reducing the peak load in 2026 and then.
