Tapping Customer Energy Resources: How VPPs Support Growing Capacity Needs
Utilities are facing a more complex landscape involving greater customer choice, rapid load growth, extreme weather, and more –– making it hard to achieve energy reliability, affordability, and decarbonization targets.
Fortunately, unlocking flexibility from customer-sited distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar, battery storage, electric vehicles (EVs), building appliances, and industrial and manufacturing systems, can turn these new loads into firm, clean capacity for the grid.
In this white paper, you’ll learn:
- How virtual (or distributed) power plants (VPPs) differ from traditional demand response programs
- How utilities can get started with VPPs by combining multiple technologies and customer segments into a cohesive portfolio
- How VPPs can reduce customer and utility energy spend, and support the industry’s move towards net-zero emissions
