Revenge Of The Virtual Power Plants, Part Infinity

Oh the irony, it burns. Former President Trump sailed into the Oval Office on a pledge to save coal jobs, but his administration set the stage for punching the energy transition into warp speed. Take virtual power plants, for example. Everybody is talking about virtual power plants now, but the field was a sleepy one until Trump’s own hand-picked chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission opened up the floodgates.Why Is Everybody Talking About Virtual Power Plants Now?For those of you new to the topic, there are different kinds of virtual power plants, but they all share one thing in common. They are creatures of the renewable energy revolution and smart grid technology. Virtual power plants link small-scale energy consumers and producers into one giant pool that can respond to grid-wide fluctuations in supply and demand
