Aigent

AGent Energy (aigent.energy) operates a hardware and software platform that connects commercial, industrial and institutional backup generators and other distributed energy resources to energy markets. Owners are paid to transfer to backup power during peak grid hours and grid emergencies, converting generators that would otherwise sit idle into revenue-generating assets.

Alongside market participation, the platform provides continuous monitoring, utilization tracking and anomaly detection intended to verify that backup assets will perform when needed, and to support compliance and regulatory reporting requirements. The company states that this monitoring capability is provided at no cost to customers. AGent Energy frames its addressable opportunity as roughly 200 GW of backup generator nameplate capacity across the United States.

Business model

AGent Energy enrolls customer-owned backup generators and other distributed energy resources into energy market and grid programs, paying asset owners when they transfer to backup power during peak or emergency grid conditions. Monitoring, utilization and anomaly detection services are offered to customers at no cost.

Revenue is tied to monetizing customer backup generators in energy markets during peak grid hours and grid emergencies, with payments made to participating asset owners.
