Virtual power plants (VPPs) in California, US, could provide over 7.5GW of capacity, around 15% of peak demand by 2035, according to a report from consultancy The Brattle Group for non-profit GridLab.
As distributed energy resources such as residential solar rooftop increase in the next decade, its use for virtual power plants could save US utilities up to US$35 billion, according to a study from consultancy The Brattle Group.
