The program will run for up to 100 hours from June through October and include about 600 Sunrun customers within PG&E’s service area.
Sunrun said the VPP partnership will support the development of new long-term programs to meet the California Energy Commission’s load-shifting goals, while also enhancing local reliability.
“Customers with home batteries are a solution to alleviating strain on our electric grid,” said Mary Powell, the CEO of Sunrun. “We’re experiencing a fundamental shift as homes are no longer just energy consumers. With storage and solar,” she said, “they become powerful grid assets, delivering affordable, reliable power exactly when and where it’s needed for communities and across the grid.”
