🎙️Ep155: VPP & DER #applepodcast https://lnkd.in/dhTv48S #spotify https://lnkd.in/ditGthT #transcripts https://lnkd.in/er6wUv53 What are #VPPs? Virtual Power Plants. What are #DERs? Distributed Energy Resources As electricity demand grows and intermittent renewable energy on the grid increases, the VPP/DER platforms provide a critical role by shedding demand, sometimes for only a few minutes, to alleviate stress on the grids. VPPs can avoid using polluting peakers via pre-agreed and targeted demand reduction, or shifting consumption via batteries , and even participating in the frequency response market. And system operators are willing to pay a decent price to have access to these resources. That is the mission of Dana Guernsey. Dana is the CEO of Voltus, a leading DER technology platform and virtual power plant operator connecting distributed energy resources to electricity markets. As interconnection queues lengthen and capacity costs explode, are we at the on the dawn of a crazy development of VPPs? Dana explains that by while working with for Walmart or a fleet of electric school buses, she can reduce Voltus’s clients power bills by up to 20% while keeping their core services unchanged. Gerard Reid and Laurent Segalen are going to talk about technology, heating and cooling management, AI… and lasagna. Take a deep dive into the future.

Many thanks to the White House Climate Policy Office and the Council of Environmental Quality for bringing this group of energy leaders together this week to discuss the acceleration of #virtualpowerplant (VPP) participation from Federal Buildings. There was clear alignment from representatives from the United States Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and GSA on the pronounced economic, reliability, and sustainability benefits of #VPPs and receptivity to learning from the private sector on how to onboard thousands of government owned and operated buildings and defense installations at scale. Voltus is poised to use our experience managing over 7 GW of #demandresponse and #distributedenergyresources to assist in this effort and looks forward to further collaboration!

In a commentary this week for Industry Dive, Voltus Chief Regulatory Officer — and longest-serving #FERC Chairman — Jon Wellinghoff teams up with former FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee. In their piece, they make the case for accelerated implementation of FERC Order Number 2222, which they characterize as a readily available, bipartisan #energypolicy solution to the waning reliability and affordability of the grid. https://lnkd.in/dm5q7BKq

"We can get the electricity we need without frying our planet" said the The New York Times a few months back. But...can we get the data we need to make the economics work? Certain obstacles to the #energytransition are more obvious than others, and sometimes it's the boring-seeming ones that are the most important to bring to light. Namely: one of the more significant (and most obscure) is the lack of access that consumers have to their own electricity consumption data — much less control over it. This is especially true for residential customers where installing third party metering is cost prohibitive. While many wouldn't think twice about this, it's critical to the deployment of #VPPs. The good news is we have the technology to liberate the data, give consumers greater discretion over their energy costs, and stand-up the resources needed to deliver the 21st century grid. But regulatory policy still needs to catch up. Voltus's Chief Regulatory Officer Jon Wellinghoff explains further in a recent Op-ed: https://lnkd.in/giTp2Kv9 Michael Murray Jen Downing Allison Bates Wannop
"incredible" "breathless" "astounding" "record shattering" "soaring" "mind blowing"...take your pick of the adjectives, but one thing it seems everyone can agree on is that our electricity grids are going to see [__insert here___] amounts of new load over the coming years based on electrification, EVs, and data center load growth. Thank you #NYT for explaining this so simply: "We need utilities to succeed now more than ever before. But the definition of success needs to evolve." There is a consumer revolution afoot...#energystorage #EVs and #smartthermostats are growing at record pace...so let's talk keep talking about increasing the utilitization and value of these customer-owned assets, not just building more stuff. #VPPs #DERs
