The AES Corporation (AES) announced that it is partnering with Google on Nest Renew, a new service for Nest thermostats. At launch, AES will offer Nest Renew through its US utilities, AES Indiana and AES Ohio. Utility customers who enroll in Nest Renew will benefit from cost-saving and energy efficiency features as well as opportunities to accelerate their own clean energy goals. This announcement builds on AES' 10-year strategic alliance with Google, as the companies jointly explore new technologies and innovations to promote a greener, smarter energy future. Nest Renew makes it easy to support a clean energy future. This new service for compatible Nest thermostats1 is rolling out in early preview by invitation beginning Fall 2021. Nest Renew Basic will be available across the continental US, with Nest Renew Premium in select US markets and expanding over time.2Nest Renew is designed to work with compatible Nest thermostats to help prioritize clean energy usage3 and track the positive difference customers are making on the environment. Nest Renew Premium includes Clean Energy Match, which will match a home's estimated fossil fuel electricity with renewable energy credits from US wind and solar, helping to support the growth of clean energy. Nest Renew will integrate with Uplight, AES' digital technology partner. AES uses Uplight to help speed integration and create a more consistent customer experience to enable the bundling of multiple utility program options into a simple, personalized, consumer-friendly experience. When combined, Nest Renew and Uplight deliver one seamless experience where customers can save money and achieve greater cost predictability, while also achieving their clean energy and sustainability goals. AES is also partnering with Google to identify or develop wind and solar projects that can generate renewable energy certificates (RECs) for Clean Energy Match.
