Benefits and applications of virtual power plants
Virtual power plants (VPPs) offer a cost-effective solution for utilities to meet rising electricity demand and decarbonization targets while minimizing the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
Powered by AI-driven software platforms, VPPs aggregate distributed energy resources (DERs) to benefit the grid. By handling vast amounts of data on grid conditions, operations, and customer usage, they optimize energy distribution and usage.
Download our white paper to explore why VPPs are essential, and discover the many benefits they bring to utilities and customers, including:
-
Reduced customer electrical bills through payments or credits
-
Attractive revenue streams for energy projects
-
Enhanced grid resiliency against climate change threats
Find out why the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that VPPs could save U.S. utilities up to $10 billion in grid expenditures over the next six years.
