Increased demand, driven primarily by the boom of data center development, threatens the sustainability of our electricity grid and the affordability of monthly utility costs for consumers. In order to mitigate these effects, our energy system needs to become more distributed and dynamic, and virtual power plants are emerging as a powerful solution to balance demand while unlocking new value from flexible resources.

Virtual power plants are transforming how we manage and consume energy by aggregating and coordinating distributed energy resources like batteries, smart thermostats, solar, EVs, and flexible loads into a single controllable resource. In this webinar, we’ll hear from industry experts who are leveraging these assets and why they are becoming a critical tool for reliability, resilience, and affordability.
