Our companies
Pioneers of flexible infrastructure solutions.
Since our inception, SIP has built businesses at the intersection of technology and infrastructure, pioneering solutions that neither ecosystem could create in isolation. Today, we operate two such businesses, Renew Home and Verrus, that create flexible infrastructure by orchestrating intelligent systems at every scale—from household thermostats to hyperscale data centers.
We are constantly evaluating new opportunities and concepts, with a goal of expanding our footprint through additional, complementary businesses and projects that multiply our impact on the largest infrastructure challenges.

SIP’s spin out from Alphabet and establishment as an infrastructure development company.
4GW
Approximately the amount of energy load within Renew Home’s virtual power plant from households across the US—equivalent to the generation capacity of two Hoover Dams.
+50%
The energy efficiency gain of Verrus’ data centers compared to conventional data center designs.
About the company
Renew Home is a leading builder and operator of residential virtual power plants (VPPs), which aggregate energy from millions of households into a unified resource that strengthens the grid.
Renew Home’s VPPs coordinate distributed energy resources (DERs) in the home, such as thermostats, EVs, smart plugs, and solar storage, managing their energy use to relieve strain on the grid, lower households’ carbon footprints, and save consumers money. During times of peak grid demand, the company dispatches these homes as a powerful, distributed power plant.
Renew Home currently operates the largest residential VPP in North America, with approximately 4GW of energy under control—equivalent to the generation capacity of two Hoover Dams.
About the company
Verrus builds the next generation of data centers—designed with flexibility, sustainability, and community needs at the forefront.
Engineered to take advantage of the dynamic nature of AI compute, Verrus’ sites are able to flex their resource use in real time—minimizing costs, maximizing energy efficiency, and maintaining the utmost level of performance for customers. This is all accomplished through a holistic approach to data center development that integrates clean energy hardware with proprietary energy management software.
As a result, Verrus’ data centers are an asset to the grid, rather than a drain; they support and advance customers’ sustainability goals, while reducing emissions for local communities; and they efficiently process customers’ current and future computing requirements, as demand for both traditional and AI compute continues to skyrocket.
