For Immediate Release — May 13, 2026
Partnership combines Abundance Energy’s growing residential battery storage and virtual power plant (VPP) platform program with ennrgy.com’s managed operations platform and Asset Optimizer technology.
LUBBOCK, Texas — Abundance Energy, a digital-native retail electric provider (REP) licensed in Texas, and ennrgy.com, an energy intelligence and managed operations platform, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver comprehensive risk management services and AI-powered battery asset optimization across Abundance’s growing residential portfolio in the ERCOT market.
Under the agreement, ennrgy.com will serve as Abundance Energy’s managed operations partner, providing pricing, forecasting, scheduling, settlements, fair value reporting, procurement, and compliance services. In addition, ennrgy.com’s Asset Optimizer — an AI-powered platform that connects directly to residential battery and other asset systems — will manage the charging and discharging of batteries across Abundance’s virtual power plant (VPP) network, ensuring optimal performance for both grid stability and customer value.
Abundance Energy offers Texas homeowners a distinctive energy model: a competitive fixed rate paired with residential battery storage that provides backup power during outages and enables participation in the state’s growing VPP ecosystem. By networking these batteries together, Abundance creates distributed energy resources that dynamically balance supply and demand, benefiting both individual customers and the broader ERCOT grid.
Abundance Energy’s growing VPP ecosystem represents one of the most innovative residential battery aggregation initiatives in Texas, with continued expansion planned across major ERCOT markets throughout 2026.
ennrgy.com’s Asset Optimizer is battery-agnostic, connecting directly to hardware from multiple manufacturers via API. The platform uses AI to determine optimal charge and discharge cycles based on real-time market conditions, customer usage patterns, and grid demand signals — maximizing the economic and operational value of each installed battery.
“Abundance Energy is building exactly the kind of forward-thinking residential energy model that the Texas market needs,” said Michael Parrella, CEO of ennrgy.com. “By combining our managed operations expertise and AI-powered Asset Optimizer with Abundance’s innovative storage and VPP programs, we’re delivering a fully integrated solution — from risk management to real-time battery optimization — that sets a new standard for what a retail energy partnership can look like.”
“Texas is becoming the national epicenter for distributed energy innovation, and Abundance Energy intends to be at the forefront of that transformation,” said Thomas Mandry, CEO of Abundance Energy. “As we continue scaling our residential battery storage and virtual power plant programs across ERCOT, we’re building far more than a traditional retail energy company — we’re building an intelligent energy platform that helps homeowners lower costs, improve resilience during outages, and actively participate in supporting the grid. ennrgy.com gives us a sophisticated AI-driven operations and optimization layer that allows us to scale faster, operate smarter, and maximize the value of every distributed energy asset connected to our network.”
The partnership is expected to begin supporting Abundance Energy’s ERCOT operations ahead of the 2026 summer demand season, positioning the companies to accelerate the deployment and optimization of distributed residential energy assets across Texas.
Together, the companies aim to accelerate the transition toward a more decentralized, intelligent, and resilient energy grid in Texas.
