Texas has had such good results from their first pilot test with Virtual Power Plants #VPPs that they're putting another one the grid! #Prosumers https://ftp.puc.texas.gov/public/puct-info/agency/resources/pubs/news/2023/PUCT_Virtual_Power_Plants_to_Provide_Power_to_ERCOT_Grid_for_the_First_Time.pdf

Our U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Program Office, yes the one that brought us Tesla I know, has over $31B of #VirtualPowerPlant applications received or in pre-consultation. The number is growing every month and coming from utilities, private lenders, equipment manufacturers, real estate owners, and more.

These #VPPs are going to be able to convert this new #solar capacity into clean, firm power to meet our electricity needs so go ahead and deploy, deploy, deploy! https://environmentamerica.org/center/resources/solar-on-warehouses/

Texans with #Batteries in their homes can now make $$ with Virtual Power Plants too. #VPPs https://electrek.co/2022/12/12/tesla-create-statewide-pilot-virtual-power-plant-texas/

#VPPs are going to provide us the capacity to decarbonize even before we get our nice new smart grids built perhaps. https://news.gm.com/newsroom.detail.html/Pages/news/us/en/2023/aug/0808-v2h.html

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut just teamed up with Tesla to use the Powerwalls installed on their grids as Virtual Power Plants #VPPs yesterday along that line as a matter of fact.

Virtual Power Plants are a game changing #ClimateSolution

Frictionless enrollment is key to unlocking the full potential of #VPPs. EnergyHub & Tesla Powerwalls have enabled ConnectedSolutions enrollment via the Tesla app in New England.
