# Grid flexibility orchestration

> Software that coordinates demand response, battery storage, and EV charging.

**Sector**: [Climate Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/climate-tech)  
**Build cost**: Team-sized build  
**Deal velocity**: Hot — multiple deals per month

## Why now

Grid stress + utility demand-response programs are creating new market for orchestration.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with utility-API adapters, OpenADR libraries, and energy-market integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- AutoGrid / GE Vernova shape
- Voltus
- Open-source DR libraries

## What this displaces

An email from the utility asking you to turn down your AC.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Heavy regulatory burden. Fund with prior utility-industry GTM. The wedge is one state's market.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

Utilities + commercial + industrial customers.

### Pricing?

Revenue share on DR program savings.

### Defensibility?

Utility integrations + market participation.
