Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) saw its shares poke ahead Tuesday. The company, which calls itself America’s largest provider of home battery storage, solar, and home-to-grid power plants, has completed a successful dispatching season of a first-of-its-kind distributed power plant partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).
“More than 1,000 Sunrun customers’ storage-plus-solar systems,” to quote this morning’s news release, “exported energy to alleviate local grid constraints, with the goal of helping PG&E avoid or defer distribution upgrades while generating net savings for all utility customers.”
“Sunrun’s groundbreaking program with PG&E shows that distributed power plants can help communities avoid the high cost of adding more poles and wires to accommodate load growth,” said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. “We saw time and time again that our customers’ batteries delivered location-specific load relief with high precision and consistent performance. Only Sunrun has this ability to quickly scale both large and bespoke distributed power plant programs with a variety of offtakers.”
Sunrun’s Local PeakShift Power distributed power plant is part of PG&E’s Seasonal Aggregation of Versatile Energy (SAVE) program. After testing from April to June 2025, the distributed power plant dispatched more than 50 times from July through October 2025, when local demand neared system capacity, totaling more than 1,200 dispatching hours.
SUN shares captured 12 cents to $20.11.
