About the session

What’s covered

Corporates have demand for 24/7 clean energy and yet cannot get utility-scale supply rapidly enough. One solution is virtual power plants (VPPs), which can aggregate hundreds or thousands of solar-powered battery storage systems as well as other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).

There is a great deal of optimism and uncertainty around the crucial role VPPs will play in the clean energy future. This session will cover a forecast for VPPs in the U.S., followed by a discussion around the key issues holding VPPs back from broader adoption. Hear the perspective of the startups, corporations, and technology providers who are trying to transform the market. Understanding the future of VPPs is crucial for utilities, large-scale energy purchasers and anyone else interested in 24/7 decarbonization of their electricity.
