Codibly is excited to announce its attendance at the PLMA Fall Conference 2025, North America’s premier event for flexible energy management. The conference will take place from November 3-5 at the Westin Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada, gathering over 425 practitioners from utilities, regulatory bodies, and clean technology innovators.

The PLMA Fall Conference is dedicated to exploring how flexible load management and Distributed Energy Resources can serve as foundational grid assets in the clean energy transition. The event’s robust agenda features peer-selected sessions focused on translating innovative concepts—like V2X and flex load valuation—into scalable, real-world utility programs.

Codibly’s presence underscores our commitment to providing the essential software layer that accelerates the deployment and monetization of flexible capacity across the electric grid.

Key Themes: The Grid of Tomorrow: Valuation and Integration

The strategic challenges and opportunities discussed at the PLMA Fall Conference are directly aligned with the future of utility operations. Our discussions at the conference will center on converting policy goals into measurable grid benefits:

  • Load Flexibility Valuation: The critical challenge of accurately measuring, valuing, and compensating for flexible capacity provided by customer-owned assets. Workshops on this topic are crucial for developing sustainable utility tariffs and market mechanisms.
  • DERs as Grid Resources: Discussions on integrating residential and commercial DERs (solar, storage, thermostats) directly into utility operations, including managing the grid reliability and congestion issues they introduce.
  • EV Managed Charging & V2X: Strategies for scaling Electric Vehicle (EV) managed charging programs from simple pilots to system-wide solutions. The focus is on implementing Vehicle-to-Grid (V2X) technologies and managing charging loads to benefit both the customer and the grid.
  • Equitable Access: Exploring approaches to program design and outreach that ensure the benefits of flexible load participation, including cost savings and incentives, are accessible to all customer demographics.

Codibly’s Focus: Software to Orchestrate and Monetize

At the PLMA Fall Conference, our team will be demonstrating how specialized software and engineering expertise provide the technical foundation necessary to realize the value discussed in these sessions. Our focus will be on tangible results:

  • Scaling DER Orchestration: We showcase how our robust software platforms act as the orchestration layer needed to aggregate thousands of dispersed DERs into a predictable Virtual Power Plant, enabling wholesale market participation.
  • V2X and EV Program Design: We discuss how to move EV-managed charging from simple scheduling to sophisticated V2X-ready programs that comply with industry standards (such as OpenADR and various protocols) and can reliably defer costly distribution upgrades.
  • Unifying Data and Interoperability: We provide insights into leveraging open standards to ensure seamless communication between disparate customer-owned devices, utility systems (DERMS, ADMS), and market signals, maximizing program reliability and reducing vendor lock-in.

If you are attending the PLMA Fall Conference 2025 and are focused on unlocking the value of flexible load for your utility or customer base, we invite you to connect with our team.

We look forward to seeing you in Henderson!
