In the new energy economy, virtual power plants (VPPs) enable energy companies to integrate multi-asset DERs into wholesale markets. The paradigm shift in the way energy is produced and consumed means new opportunities for additional value streams, increased flexibility, better reserve margins, and reduced emissions.
The recently released report by the Department of Energy (DOE), "Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Virtual Power Plants" highlights a compelling opportunity: Tripling the current scale of VPP deployments (estimated at 80-160 gigawatts) by 2030 – would allow the U.S. to retire polluting fossil fuel peaker plants, respond to new electricity demands, and reduce grid costs.
