“Can a SaaS DERM platform become the default customer-engagement and demand-response layer for US utilities and cooperatives?”
Virtual Peaker is a vertical SaaS company serving investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, and cooperatives with a distributed energy resource management (DERM) platform for demand response, forecasting, and customer engagement. It runs branded enrollment portals (e.g. connecttosave.virtualpeaker.io, ompa.virtualpeaker.io, luma.virtualpeaker.io, rpu.virtualpeaker.io) on behalf of utility partners. Its 'financial' surface is limited to utility bill credits and enrollment incentives issued by the utility itself — not embedded finance products.
Virtual Peaker is founded in 2015 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.
