The Australian Energy Market Commissioner (AEMC) is proposing to enable virtual power plants (VPPs) to directly compete with large-scale generators in the energy market, which could aid solar PV’s role in decarbonising Australia.

The Energy Storage for Resilient Homes Act would allow residents of the two states to use funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to purchase residential BESS.

How VPPs could help reduce solar PV curtailment in California, while also helping financially to install a solar array and storage.

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.

Sunnova has expanded its virtual power plants (VPPs) to better manage the grid in six US states, plus the territory of Puerto Rico.

PV Tech Premium looks at why Puerto Rico's particularity in the residential market could be a success story in the energy transition.

As virtual power plants will be important in the future to help the grid, challenges around data sharing still persist.

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.

The CEO of US solar installer Sunrun has called for faster action to reduce import delays that continue to impact the country’s PV industry.

US solar installer Sunrun has completed its first successful season running a residential VPP in a New England's wholesale capacity market
