Virtual Power Plant Meeting Scheduled
On July 30, NJBPU will hold a hybrid stakeholder meeting to discuss its recently released Straw Proposal for New Jersey’s first Virtual Power Plant program. At the meeting, attendees will hear from representatives from NJBPU, Governor Sherrill’s Office, consultants RMI and Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), the Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs), and experts from other states.
A Virtual Power Plant is a grid management approach that uses digital technology to link thousands of everyday devices – like smart thermostats, home batteries, and EV chargers – into one coordinated system. When demand spikes, a secure program can make small adjustments across many devices at once to take the place of a new power plant, with participants getting paid through bill credits, discounts, or direct payments.
