DOE published the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Virtual Power Plants report in September 2023. Since that publication, Virtual Power Plant (VPP) adoption has grown; new VPP deployments, new insights and analyses into benefits, and new tools and resources from within and outside DOE have emerged. However, deployment still needs to accelerate in the U.S. to reach 80-160 GW of VPPs (10-20% of peak load) that contribute to an affordable, reliable, and secure grid for all Americans. This Update supplements – but does not replace – the original 2023 VPP Liftoff Report by providing additional real-world examples, new resources, and updated industry insights that support VPP deployment.
