Virtual Power Plants Transform Grid Operations
Justin McCammon, VP of Engineering at EnergyHub, tells PYMNTS that virtual power plants (VPPs) aggregate distributed resources like smart thermostats, electric vehicles and home batteries to operate as a single grid asset. By shaping demand—coordinating potentially hundreds of thousands of devices—VPPs lower peak costs, reduce emissions, and rely on AI forecasting, Snowflake telemetry validation, and progressing autonomy to manage rising loads.
