Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) combine energy sources like rooftop solar, batteries, and electric vehicles. Supporters want clearer policies to help VPPs, which could save a lot of money in the energy transition.
The Emergence of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs): A Transformative Force for Grid Stability
As the reliance on electricity grows, VPPs, which integrate small energy sources like solar panels and electric vehicles, can effectively manage electricity demand and reduce consumer costs. Despite being in early stages, VPPs offer significant potential in stabilizing grids, promoting clean energy, and enhancing energy independence.
