The Future of Flexibility: Unlocking the Full Value of VPPs for a Changing Grid
The Future of Flexibility: Unlocking the Full Value of VPPs for a Changing Grid
The energy industry stands at a pivotal moment, with U.S. electricity demand projected to grow by 5% over the next five years driven by EV adoption, domestic manufacturing, and data centers. As utilities grapple with this unprecedented growth alongside grid reliability challenges, virtual power plants (VPPs) are emerging as a crucial solution for maintaining reliable, affordable energy supply while supporting the transition to clean energy.
This new report from EnergyHub explores how leading utilities are leveraging VPPs to build grid flexibility through real-world case studies and expert insights. It also examines key technology trends like AI-driven predictive analytics, as well as the regulatory and technical developments needed to unlock VPPs' full potential in creating a more resilient and sustainable grid.
Inside the free report you’ll find:
-
How utilities are evolving beyond basic demand response to deploy cross-DER VPPs
-
Case studies from leading utilities like APS and Ontario IESO demonstrating successful VPP deployments
-
Expert insights on the role of AI and predictive analytics in optimizing VPP performance and reliability
-
Critical barriers and opportunities for scaling VPPs
-
A detailed comparison of VPPs versus traditional power plants
