I’m excited for this partnership between NRG Energy, Renew Home and Google Cloud. Virtual Power Plants (VPP) + Google Award Winning Capabilities = game changer. This will enable Texans and NRGs full customer base to benefit from technology by delivering power to the grid rather than only being a consumer. Plus, VPPs impact on the environment outweighs the building and maintenance of power plants, wind turbine farms, and solar panel farms.
“A 1 GW VPP delivers capacity equivalent to 200,000 homes during peak demand. To build the VPP, NRG, in partnership with Renew Home, plans to offer Vivint and Nest smart thermostats, including professional installation, at no cost to eligible customers across NRG’s retail electricity providers and plans. These advanced thermostats make subtle automatic HVAC adjustments to help customers shift their energy use to times when electricity is less constrained, less expensive, and cleaner. By combining smart devices, energy intelligence, and AI, this innovative program gives consumers comfort and control through a modern and efficient energy experience. Over time, the parties expect to add devices like batteries and electric vehicles to the VPP, expanding energy savings opportunities for customers.”
As we continue striving for a more resilient future, we’re pleased to partner with Renew Home, a leading virtual power plant (VPP) company, and Google Cloud.
This presents a tremendous opportunity to meet increasing energy demand and expand potential cost savings for our customers.
