We’re glad that DOE is getting the word out about virtual power plants, via its new blog “VPPieces”. Just as energy efficiency — the energy that you don’t use — is the “first fuel” and the lowest-cost energy, VPPs provide a way to release kilowatts and megawatts more efficiently and when they’re needed. That’s a key requirement of a smart grid, and PACE AI can deliver VPP at a very small scale, meaning that we can help with big scaling. Read the DOE Loan Programs Office’s “VPPieces” here.
