This Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to show off Nicole Kelner's Virtual Power Plant visualization that we commissioned! We are often asked, “what is a #VPP?” - I think Nicole’s amazing and beautiful art explains it best! @Sunrun

[Christopher Rauscher @idyllife]

Today, and everyday, I am thankful for our amazing team (Olivia Miele, Yang Yu, Hanna Lynn Jones, Brenna M., Casaundra Collyer, Samantha Justesen, among others) and for the impact that Sunrun Grid Services is driving in the clean energy transition.

Excited to be working alongside our partners @sunnovaenergy @sunrun and Powerwall customers to make this the biggest VPP in the world (potential over 300MW) and rapidly reduce the frequency and duration of grid outages in Puerto Rico

@theamyheart @midwestern_ope We have such a drawer and the fair Eliza gets “cheese insecure” if it’s not full at all times.

[Christopher Rauscher @idyllife]

Great leadership here!!

[Mary Powell @MaryGPowell]

Such an honor to meet with @pedropierluisi @GovPierluisi to talk about making virtual power plants mainstream #solar + #storage = more cost effective reliable energy grid. Let’s go! 💕

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

This is Chris. He knows that American industry and government working hand-in-hand w/ communities is how we're going to lead the world in a clean energy transition. 🌎⚡

Why? To increase our national security, boost our economy, and make people's lives better. 🇺🇸 #SOTU

[Christopher Rauscher @idyllife]

Thank you for your leadership on Puerto Rico @SecGranholm! @sunrun

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

American industry working hand-in-hand with Federal, State, local + Tribal governments and the communities they serve is how we're going to lead the world in a clean energy transition that increases our national security, boosts our economy, and makes people's lives better.

Very proud of our @Sunrun team who worked tirelessly to make this happen. 👏👏👏 “Generation right next to where the energy is needed is not just resilient, clean, and affordable, it’s economically a better way to build out the system of the future.” - @MaryGPowell

[Sunrun @Sunrun]

Sunrun was happy to show @SecGranholm one of the 7 fire stations where we installed solar + batteries after #HurricaneMaria to keep critical communications online during blackouts. We're grateful to see the Biden administration leading to help Puerto Rico’s electricity system.
