Why now
  • Recent large-scale VPP tests show feasibility and cost benefits at scale.
  • New pilots in major U.S. cities demonstrate growing utility interest and regulatory support.
  • Increasing EV adoption enables innovative vehicle-to-home applications for grid services.
Why it matters
  • VPPs can add significant grid capacity faster and cheaper than building new power plants.
  • Aggregating distributed energy resources enhances grid resilience and supports decarbonization goals.
  • EV-to-home technology provides flexible storage and backup power, improving energy security.
