Utah is not perhaps a US state people would immediately associate with cutting edge clean energy tech development, but that’s where sonnen’s virtual power plant (VPP) offering took shape.
Nuvve, a US startup focused on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, has been selected to manage grid-connected stationary battery storage in Japan with a combined capacity of 30MWh.
The versatility of battery storage to provide a broad range of services makes them “particularly valuable” to virtual power plants (VPPs), according to a senior advisor to the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Access to grid services markets could be a critical part of enabling wider adoption of solar PV and battery storage for low-income households, partners behind a new programme in California have said.
