@CostaSamaras Done right and measured with data weatherization and efficiency are VPPs! @goldenmatt

“ERCOT’s forecast [of] 80,000 MW is an enormous amount of power & it tracks back to an enormous amount of energy inefficiency,” Lewin said, adding that insufficiently insulated homes, coupled w/ inefficient heating systems, increases the risk of outages. https://t.co/VTDfgYezpI

ERCOT said it expects the grid to withstand the extreme temperatures expected over the holiday weekend. Here's what energy experts say.

The ERCOT demand forecast is ~86 GW rn. *IF* it happens, that would exceed the record set in August of 85.5GW. This is a reminder of the need to increase energy efficiency. #txlege required the PUC to do so but 7 months after the bill was signed, they haven't yet begun. #txenergy

The #IRA HOMES Program is one of the best opportunities to scale VPPs. Here’s why: 1️⃣ States can allow incentives to be provided for annual and peak demand reductions 2️⃣ The measured pathway enables grid operators to count on the demand reductions from efficiency improvements

Virtual Power Plants are the future of energy! VPPs: 🏔️ Reduce peak energy demand 💰 Lower grid costs 💡 Improve energy reliability 🏡 Help households save money and optimize energy usage But to fully unlock the potential of #VPPs, measured #energyefficiency must be embraced.

New record for curtailment in South Australia (a part of Aus). Curtailment was 126% of the native load. There was 264% of the load produced by wind and solar only. Info from @eljmkt_nemlog

Check out how @Franklin_Energy's pay-for-performance program delivered $4k in grid value, 20% peak reductions, +100% realization rates, and a simple design for customers and contractors. Case Study: https://t.co/yLjTuNSOSm #electrification #energyefficiency

Pretty crazy how high a share of power batteries now provide in the evening in California. Got up to 13% by 7:00pm yesterday.

WA’s main grid hit two new records on 25 September, with minimum operational demand falling to 595.1 MW and #rooftopsolar generation hitting 76.3% of total demand. Recent WEM reforms will help manage new records as we transition to #netzero Read more: https://t.co/VaBf6DjRjH
