Olivine

Olivine is an energy technology and program-solutions company focused on helping utilities, energy providers, and corporate partners accelerate the transition to a more flexible, lower-carbon electric grid. Founded in 2010, the company combines market expertise, research partnerships, and software to manage distributed energy resources (DERs), including demand response, battery storage, electric vehicles, and other flexible loads. Its offerings include turnkey utility program design and administration, market integration, resource valuation, and operational support.

The Olivine DER platform and ClimateResponse® technology suite support distributed energy resource management and virtual power plant (VPP) operations, connecting customer resources with utility and wholesale energy programs. ClimateResponse VPP has expanded to include thermal storage, agricultural, and EV-charging resources, while CarbonEQ is Olivine’s load-shifting solution for building decarbonization. The company also provides tools such as tariff optimization and customer-facing phone and web applications.

Olivine works with utilities, technology companies, and research organizations on pilots and grid programs, including California emergency load-reduction initiatives, to improve reliability and enable customer participation in energy markets
