Three years ago, the Local Solar Roadmap presented an ambitious future where rapid deployment of local solar + storage could create the lowest cost, cleanest future grid. What we were really saying was, #virtualpowerplants like local solar and storage are essential to our clean energy transition. We’re so glad to see some “successor” reports come out since our Roadmap, like the Department of Energy’s Virtual Power Plant Commercial Liftoff report. Check out how local solar and VPPs are our future. ▶︎ https://lnkd.in/gQ3pcfee
