Measure Twice, Cut Once—A Roadmap for Enabling VPPs Through Policy and Program Design https://t.co/c0qsMWSACx

[RMI @RockyMtnInst]

The accelerating growth of electricity demand is pushing the #grid to its limits.🫣

But as RMI, @EnergyHub & @olivineinc show in @POWERmagazine, there are innovative regulatory frameworks enabling utilities and their customers to address this challenge together. 👀

As new loads come online, it’s critical to integrate them into #VirtualPowerPlants so that they can provide grid reliability services and relieve distribution systems – reducing the investment needed to support load growth and keeping bills affordable.

Come say hi at #NARUCWinter24!

[Christian Fong @christiantfong]

Virtual power plants and clean repowering and performance incentive mechanisms oh my!

[RMI Electricity @RMIElectricity]

#NARUCWinter24 is here!

As regulators & industry gather, let’s name the elephant in the room - the #InflationReductionAct has transformed the energy landscape & brought visionary regulatory practices into view. 🐘

5 no-regrets opportunities for regulators in a post-IRA world 🧵

[Avery McEvoy @EnergyAvery]

If you're at @NARUC next week, let's dig into our VPP policy principles to explore how regulators and policymakers can leverage #VPPs to deliver reliability and affordability. ⚖️🔋

[RMI Electricity @RMIElectricity]

#VirtualPowerPlants offer an opportunity to address some of the biggest challenges facing the electric sector.⚡️

This set of principles can support policymakers & energy industry players in enabling VPPs to deliver key reliability & affordability benefits:https://t.co/5kXyoVZ5Jg

Good news: cost is no longer the key barrier to deploying clean energy.
Bad news: interconnection queues have taken the place as perhaps the biggest barrier for clean energy.
So, interconnection queues—what are they, why are they broken, and how do we fix them? A thread:

Grateful to help explain the benefits of #virtualpowerplants in the @washingtonpost. Hunter’s Point, FL is demonstrating how planning communities for an integrated, electric, net zero future at the outset can reduce costs and increase resilience for generations to come.#VPPs #VP3

[RMI Electricity @RMIElectricity]

🔌🏘️#VPPs are showing up for communities & offering a new type of resilience

“W/ a #VirtualPowerPlant, you’re supporting your community & your local grid... You can provide these services to your local system & get paid."

Honored that VP3 is featured as Day 9! https://t.co/exYVwuw1PG 🔋⚡️ What a year. @RockyMtnInst @RMIElectricity

[Avery McEvoy @EnergyAvery]

I'm looking forward to moderating a panel on #virtualpowerplants tomorrow at Day 1 of #GridFWD 2023! The topic is "VPPs: Optimizing the Customer Experience for a Distributed, Inclusive Future." Stop by if you’re here! ⚡️🔋

[RMI @RockyMtnInst]

🚀Virtual power plants are ready for liftoff!

As @ENERGY's new report shows, VPPs have the potential to transform our grid by:

Happy 106th birthday, George! 🎂

We chatted with George Jedenoff earlier this week and wished him a happy birthday. George may be done skiing, but he's still a big part of Alta and the Wild Old Bunch.

📢Just announced!

We’ve expanded the Virtual Power Plant Partnership (VP3) with new membership from leading businesses spanning VPP-related sectors.

Together we'll work to catalyze industry & transform policy to scale the market for #VPPs.
