32. Daniel Wentz – Greenely & the Rise of the Virtual Power Plant

#32. The Rise of the Virtual Power Plant

Daniel Wentz, Chief Product Officer at Greenely, joins the podcast to unpack one of the most interesting shifts in consumer energy: the rise of home batteries, intelligent orchestration, and virtual power plants. With a background leading global connected-device software at Electrolux, he shares why trust and control are the foundation of any energy product, what it takes to integrate EVs, solar, batteries and heat pumps into one system, and how virtual power plants are turning households into active players in the grid.

This episode is sponsored by our partner Lightbringer, the AI-powered platform simplifying the patent process.

In this episode:

✅ Trust & control: the foundation of any energy product

✅ Connecting EVs, solar, batteries & heat pumps into one system

✅ How virtual power plants let households earn from the grid

✅ APIs as the new battleground for energy hardware integration

✅ Scaling Greenely: product maturity and mass-market simplicity
