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.
