Leap (Leapfrog Power, Inc.) builds a software platform that connects distributed energy resources (DERs) to energy markets to form virtual power plants (VPPs). It aggregates resources such as battery storage, EV chargers, smart thermostats, and building management systems, enabling them to be dispatched to balance the grid, especially during peak demand. The product is API-first and software-only, requiring no specialized hardware, and offers automated bidding, dispatching, performance analysis, and settlement through a single interface for partners to access multiple U.S. energy programs and markets. Leap differentiates itself as a “Stripe for energy,” focusing on API-based integration with technology providers who can monetize flexible energy assets and participate in wholesale and programmatic grid services. Its goal is to decarbonize the electric grid by creating scalable, resilient, and efficient energy systems through VPPs and new revenue streams for partners.
