This webinar, part of the Beyond Transmission series by Heatmap Labs, will focus on the key role of customer-side flexibility in the form of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Across the country, utilities are harnessing existing network and customer assets – from solar panels and car batteries to smart thermostats and water heaters – to create VPPs that can deliver a range of grid services, satisfy soaring electricity demand, and bring relief to congested grid infrastructure.
