Tapping Residential Capacity to Power an Evolving Grid

The North American power grid is at a critical juncture. A recent NERC report warns of potential energy shortfalls and blackouts within the next decade, driven by surging demand and the retirement of traditional generation sources. To meet this challenge, utilities are turning to the untapped potential of residential Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).

This E-book from Franklin Energy delves into the state of resource adequacy, exploring how residential Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) can be a game-changer. You'll learn:

• The Alarming NERC Findings: Understand the growing risk of energy shortfalls and the factors driving increased demand.
• The Power of Residential DERs: Discover how rooftop solar, EVs, smart appliances, and energy storage can be aggregated to create valuable grid resources.
• The Rise of Virtual Power Plants: Explore the potential of VPPs to provide cost-effective resource adequacy and grid stability.
• Overcoming Customer Barriers: Learn how to shift customer perception and improve experience with education to participate in VPP programs.
• Building the Omnidirectional Grid: Understand the shift from centralized to decentralized energy systems and the role of prosumers.
• Partnering for Success: Discover how experienced program implementers can help utilities scale residential VPP portfolios.
