Puerto Rico transforming its grid with 17-MW virtual power plant via Sunrun
Sunrun is connecting a 17 MW virtual power plant (VPP) in Puerto Rico to help rebuild and transform the island’s energy system. This VPP, consisting of more than 7,000 Sunrun home solar-plus-battery systems will be the first distributed large-scale storage program on the island. VPPs are great for lowering energy costs for all consumers, providing……
