Virtual Power Plants Are the Key to a Resilient, Clean Energy Grid

By Erin Cosgrove | Wed, April 19, 23

Virtual power plants (VPPs), an aggregation of distributed energy resources, provide a deeper integration of demand flexibility and renewables on our energy grid, which can offer cleaner and more affordable power. They operate by aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs) to meet grid needs and optimize consumer energy usage.
