Google’s Nest Renew is now Renew Home.

Google’s energy-shifting program for its Nest thermostats is officially under new ownership.

Announced last year, Renew Home launched today with the goal of funneling the energy you save by using smart devices into virtual power plants that help offset peak demand. It also announced integrations with LG, Honeywell, Rheem, SunPower, and Sense.

VPPs are still a nascent idea but the potential is growing fast.
