Side hustles range from delivery drivers to social media influencers and may soon include something surprising—electricity providers. That’s the promise of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), letting consumers sell their unused energy back to the grid and get compensated for it. A VPP is formed when distributed energy resources – like solar panels, batteries, and EVs – are combined, or “aggregated” together and managed as a single resource like a power plant.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559685":0,"335559737":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":279}"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":0,"335551620":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":279}"> </span></p> </div> <a class="more-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/texas-ader-task-force-makes-progress-on-vpps-challenges-remain">Read More</a> <p id="hubspot-topic_data"> Topics: <a class="topic-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/topic/wholesale-markets">Wholesale Markets</a>, <a class="topic-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/topic/texas-advanced-energy-business-alliance">Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance</a>, <a class="topic-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/topic/texas">Texas</a>, <a class="topic-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/topic/distributed-energy-resources">Distributed Energy Resources</a> </p> </div> <div class="post-item"> <div class="post-header"> <h2><a href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/ee_puct_tx_workshops">Energy Efficiency Reforms Stall in Texas as the Grid Staggers Under Record Demand</a></h2> <div id="hubspot-author_data" class="hubspot-editable" data-hubspot-form-id="author_data" data-hubspot-name="Blog Author"> Posted by <a class="author-link" href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/author/micalah-spenrath">Micalah Spenrath</a> on Aug 29, 2023 12:14:51 PM </div> <span id="hs_cos_wrapper_blog_social_sharing" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_blog_social_sharing" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="blog_social_sharing"> <div class="hs-blog-social-share"> <ul class="hs-blog-social-share-list"> <li class="hs-blog-social-share-item hs-blog-social-share-item-twitter"> <!-- Twitter social share --> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-lang="en" data-url="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/ee_puct_tx_workshops" data-size="medium" data-text="Energy Efficiency Reforms Stall in Texas as the Grid Staggers Under Record Demand">Tweet</a> </li> <li class="hs-blog-social-share-item hs-blog-social-share-item-linkedin"> <!-- LinkedIn social share --> <script type="IN/Share" data-url="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/ee_puct_tx_workshops" data-showzero="true" data-counter="right"></script> </li> <li class="hs-blog-social-share-item hs-blog-social-share-item-facebook"> <!-- Facebook share --> <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/ee_puct_tx_workshops" data-layout="button_count"></div> </li> </ul> </div> </span> <br> </div> <div class="post-body clearfix"> <!--post summary--> <span id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1687271705779" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><!-- custom widget definition not found (portalId: null, path: null, moduleId: null) --></span> <p><em><img src="https://blog.advancedenergyunited.org/hs-fs/hubfs/A%20Critical%20Tool%2c%20Energy%20Efficiency%20Can%20Enhance%20Texas%20Grid%20Reliability.png?width=748&height=374&name=A%20Critical%20Tool%2c%20Energy%20Efficiency%20Can%20Enhance%20Texas%20Grid%20Reliability.png" width="748" height="374" loading="lazy" alt="A Critical Tool, Energy Efficiency Can Enhance Texas Grid Reliability" style="height: auto;
