San Francisco, CA — January 30, 2026: Flipturn today announced its listing as an approved Solution Provider for PG&E’s Flex Connect Program, enabling EV charging sites to quickly unlock additional capacity at a site while waiting for infrastructure upgrades. With Flex Connect, PG&E provides day-ahead hourly schedules of the next day’s additional available capacity, and Flipturn’s software and energy management controls enable the site to operate at the maximum capacity while maintaining a reliable charging experience.

“Flex Connect is a powerful way to unlock more EV charging capacity faster,” said Sashko Stubailo, CTO & co-founder of Flipturn. “Flipturn makes it simple for sites to operate within PG&E’s day-ahead capacity signals with secure communications, dynamic energy management, and real-time compliance reporting.”

Flipturn’s platform allows operators to implement Flex Connect by:

  • Receiving available capacity signals from PG&E
  • Implementing hourly maximum capacity limits at the site level, including appropriate fail safes for abnormal grid conditions
  • Monitoring and reporting real-time power consumption

Benefits of Flipturn’s solution

With Flipturn, customers can choose an end-to-end deployment or integrate Flex Connect support into an existing system.

  • Hands-on support: Work closely with Flipturn’s engineering and customer success teams to ensure success throughout the full deployment lifecycle.
  • Modern cloud platform: Monitor sites in real time, including EV chargers, power limits, and meter data. Integrate with APIs, data connectors, and AI agents.
  • Secure, certified IEEE 2030.5 CSIP communication: Communication with PG&E systems is handled via Flipturn’s certified CSIP Aggregator.
  • Simple installation: Flipturn’s site controller integrates with existing site hardware, including EV chargers, meters, and DERs.
  • All-in-one, or incremental: Use the entire Flipturn solution end-to-end, or integrate with existing systems.

Architecture

Flipturn’s solution can provide all of the components needed to implement Flex Connect, or can integrate with existing systems to fill in the gaps needed. The system components include:

  • IEEE 2030.5 CSIP Aggregator: Facilitates communication with PG&E.
  • On-site energy management controller: Manages EV chargers and other on-site hardware to adhere to PG&E provided schedules with required fail safes.
  • Meter data gateway: Provides real-time (30-second granularity) meter data across power, voltage, current, and related datapoints, that is reported back to PG&E by the aggregator.
  • Charging management system: Enables reporting, charging authorization, payments, and charger monitoring/configuration (if using an existing CMS, integration options can include OCPI, OCPP proxy, or API).
