The future of virtual power plants is technology agnostic
Interoperability is crucial for deploying certain consumer technologies efficiently at scale.
The virtual power plant market today is fragmented and inefficient, dominated by technology-specific programs and operating platforms that lack interoperability. As a result, neither the market nor individual VPP providers have achieved significant economies of scale.
The majority of VPPs include single distributed energy resource technologies, such as smart thermostats or commercial battery energy storage systems, and limit participation to a handful of original equipment manufacturers.
