US states are betting on virtual power plants to cut grid costs. The US now has more than 40 GW of VPP capacity, and a 2025 DoE report says it could reach 160 GW by 2030, about one-fifth of expected peak demand. #VPP#PowerGrid#Energy#Utilities
Virtual power plants are adding grid capacity without new plants: on Sept. 9, 140,000+ California home batteries delivered 580+ MW in 3 hours. North America has ~37.5 GW of VPP capacity and it's scaling fast. #Energy#Grid#Batteries#VPP
