This week we talk about peaker plants, blackouts, and at-home battery backups.We also discuss energy resiliency, solar panels, and hydro.Recommended Book: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson BennettTranscriptPeaking power plants, often just called peaker plants, are power plants that are turned on only during periods of high energy demand. That's in contrast to a baseload power plant, which operates more or less 24/7 to ensure there's a steady amount of electricity available on the local power grid.The need for peak-load energy varies depending on the time of year and which part of the world you're looking at. In general, though, energy demand tends to increase in the morning and evening because of temperature fluctuations and lifestyle rhythms.People are at home in the morning and return from work in the evening, at which point they turn on their ACs or heaters, TVs, lights, electric kettles, and video game consoles. That leads to an irregular surge in demand compared with the steady office and factory demand met throughout the day by the baseload power plant.When energy demand peaks, approaching or exceeding what the baseload plant can reliably provide, the peaker plant is spun up and more energy is added to the grid. This helps avoid brownouts and blackouts, situations in which people lose access to power because there isn't enough to go around.This also helps stabilize energy prices. In most countries, pricing is used to manage scarce energy resources, so as a grid approaches the point where it's running out of available electricity, prices rise to incentivize less energy use. Peaker plants keep those prices from going sky-high by increasing the supply, preventing demand from pushing prices into absolutely ridiculous territory.Some peaker plants operate for a handful of hours basically every day. This is especially true in places with extreme temperature fluctuations, or in areas where the population or manufacturing activity has increased rapidly and the local infrastructure hasn't caught up. In those places, the backup plant is used more regularly because the baseload supply hasn't yet increased to meet that new, consistently higher demand.Peaker plants are often less efficient to run because they aren't meant to be used all the time. Consequently, if the baseload power plant isn't capable of providing enough energy for a region on a regular basis, electricity can get much more expensive for everyone, all the time. A power plant intended for occasional use is instead operating constantly, and it wasn't built to be efficient. It was built to come online quickly and operate only during periods of irregular, excessive need.What I'd like to talk about today is an alternative to peaker plants that was conceived of decades ago, but which has only recently started to be deployed at scale in some areas.—As I mentioned in the intro, a peaker power plant is meant to be turned on irregularly to meet above-average energy needs. Those periodic pops in demand are accounted for, and peaker plants are built specifically to meet them. As a result, these plants are typically more expensive and often more polluting than baseload plants, with many using natural gas or coal to produce extra electricity for the grid.In the late 1990s, researchers proposed that it might someday be possible to link energy-production and storage sites together, creating a more flexible grid system they called a virtual power plant. Further research in the early 2000s expanded on the concept, looking specifically at renewable-energy options and how they might be aggregated into a similar virtual-power-plant setup.The basic idea is to recreate the effect of a peaker plant—adding electricity to the power grid when it's most needed—by aggregating power-generating or storage assets and tapping them only when necessary.Software manages that aggregation of smaller assets, ensuring the additional energy reaches the grid when it's needed and at the necessary scale. Managing these assets in this way allows smaller production and storage infrastructure to recreate the impact of a larger peaker plant.A German energy company called RWE launched the first real-world virtual power plant in 2008, linking nine of its hydroelectric plants into a virtual 8.6 MW unit whose output could be managed and deployed remotely. A few years later, in 2011, a Swiss energy company called Kraftwerke did the same with a slew of biogas, solar, and wind-power infrastructure scattered across seven countries.The concept expanded to include demand-side residential energy assets in 2016, when the Australian city of Adelaide enacted a program backed by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. The program deployed 1,000 battery systems to homes and businesses across the city. Those battery systems were hooked up to solar panels, and the software managing the batteries allowed their stored energy to act like a 5 MW peaker plant.Tesla then applied the same general idea across South Australia, where energy prices had long been volatile, beginning in 2018. That program reached 50,000 homes by 2022. It was acquired by an energy company called AGL in 2025, which expanded it further until the virtual power plant had a capacity of 25 MW of peaker solar energy and 37 MW of battery-stored peaker energy.Now, again, there's a certain amount of energy available on the grid from standard baseload production sources, including traditional coal- and gas-fired power plants, hydroelectric plants, and nuclear power plants.Solar and wind arrays also contribute to the baseline energy load in some parts of the world. That baseline can be augmented by utility-scale battery facilities that store excess wind and solar production. This makes renewables more reliable as baseload options because excess energy generated during the day or during especially windy periods can be stored in those batteries and used later, at night or when the wind isn't blowing as hard.A VPP addresses periods when the available baseload supply doesn't measure up to current demand. When temperatures are especially high and everyone is using their air conditioners more, and a gas plant or solar array can't provide enough electricity to meet demand, the company operating the virtual power plant can draw energy from scattered resources to cover that additional use.In some cases, that means pooling energy generated by small hydroelectric dams. In others, it means drawing a previously agreed-upon amount or percentage of energy from a homeowner's battery backup.Maybe they have a battery that stores excess electricity from their solar panels, which they can use at night. They might also have an agreement with the VPP operator allowing it to draw a certain amount of energy from that battery when necessary, adding it to the grid to ease excessive demand.This kind of agreement is often beneficial for the homeowner sharing some of their excess energy with the grid to help prevent blackouts and excessively high prices. The cost of the battery installation and hardware might be subsidized, or they might make a small amount of money every time that energy is borrowed.There are also variations on this model that provide the homeowner or renter with a fancy thermostat. During periods of high demand, the thermostat might automatically adjust the AC by a degree or two when the grid is being crushed by demand on crazy-hot days. This ensures there's enough energy to go around by reducing demand rather than increasing supply.Some models also use energy-pricing arbitrage, automatically selling stored energy when electricity is expensive and buying it back when electricity is cheap. This helps balance the grid's overall energy load by contributing to it when energy is scarce and expensive, then restoring that energy to the battery when it is abundant and cheap.Increasingly, these systems tap into other resources connected to the grid to reduce demand or increase supply. They might borrow some energy stored in a homeowner's electric vehicle, for instance, which has been left plugged in to charge but can also act as another, quite large, household battery. Or they might reduce the power being sent to heat pumps or water heaters.Each of these devices or other assets is treated as part of the larger virtual power plant, which may be composed of thousands or tens of thousands of homes and all their connected assets. This helps manage supply and demand so that blackouts and dramatically higher energy prices are less likely, even on days with bizarre weather or when larger energy assets, like power plants, aren't operating at full capacity.This is a huge win for resiliency, and it's also often much cheaper than installing and operating a peaker plant, usually around 40–60% cheaper.These systems can also be installed and activated much faster than a full-on power plant, while dramatically reducing the amount of land used for energy infrastructure and the bureaucracy that has to be traversed to get something like a power plant or solar array installed and operating.Those big chunks of infrastructure can take years or decades to bring online, while a VPP can often be up and running within just a few months. It usually requires no new land and no new interconnections in terms of cables or whatnot. It uses infrastructure that's already there in most cases, though it can also be strengthened by deploying assets, like household batteries, that are useful to the homeowner for other reasons. Kind of a win-win.At the moment, virtual-power-plant capacity is limited primarily by regulatory approval, at least in most countries. Energy utilities don't have much incentive to move these systems forward because they get paid for building and managing traditional power assets, and VPPs are not that.Sometimes an energy company will run this type of program, but usually only if it gets to sell the hardware and is paid to manage the software that keeps everything running smoothly. Household batteries and similar assets otherwise represent competition, so utilities are less inclined to allow these systems to move forward or even be legally installed without a fight.That said, the major players in the VPP space right now are Sunrun, Tesla, Renew Home, Uplight, Next Kraftwerke, and sonnen. The latter is the largest VPP operator in Europe and has recently been expanding into the US, especially in Utah.Most VPP deployment in the US is happening in California, Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico. These systems are also being deployed across South Australia, Germany, and China, where the first gigawatt-scale residential VPP, which aggregates air conditioners and water heaters across millions of households, has been launched.This category of energy technology has rolled out more slowly than originally anticipated. When the early models were deployed in Europe, their outcomes were considered broadly beneficial, but expansion was hindered by regulations—paperwork, basically—and pushback from existing utilities that didn't want the competition.VPPs were also bundled with other renewable-energy infrastructure and consequently faced substantial opposition in the US, in particular, during both Trump administrations. Those administrations pulled support for renewables across the board and, in some cases, actively tried to kill these industries to make even more room for oil and gas companies.In 2025 and so far in 2026, though, the blazing-fast deployment of data centers has brought VPPs back into the conversation. Data centers require a silly amount of energy to run, and power grids in the areas where they're being built have been strained as a consequence, dramatically increasing energy prices.VPPs won't solve that problem, but they could ease it in several ways. They can temper energy use and make more electricity available during periods of peak demand without requiring the construction of expensive power plants that might not come online for years or even a decade.They could also reframe the use of VPPs so that they're no longer seen primarily as environmental efforts, but as economically viable means of addressing data-center-created energy shortfalls. That could lead to more VPP build-outs because these systems would no longer be such obvious targets for anti-renewable-energy legislation and politics.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaking_power_planthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_power_planthttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211467X2400097Xhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/05/adelaide-charges-ahead-with-worlds-largest-virtual-power-planthttps://www.nrg.com/insights/energy-education/understanding-virtual-power-plants--a-guide-to-vpps.htmlhttps://techcrunch.com/2026/08/19/home-batteries-are-suddenly-cheap-and-everywhere-heres-why/https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2026/08/13/tesla-unveils-zero-down-powerwall-lease-program-with-retail-electric-plan-in-texas-touts-global-vpp-potential/https://www.energy-storage.news/base-power-launches-100mw-vpp-programme-in-texas/https://www.ess-news.com/2026/02/12/texas-lands-its-first-battery-only-virtual-power-plant/https://nuwattenergy.com/en/virtual-power-plants-2026https://www.ess-news.com/2026/06/25/sunrun-tesla-renew-home-announce-plans-for-16-8-gw-virtual-power-plant-program/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352484725003865https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/start-next-kraftwerkes-renewable-virtual-power-plant-stabilises-gridhttps://www.energy.gov/edf/virtual-power-plants-projectshttps://www.woodmac.com/press-releases/virtual-power-plant-capacity-expands-13.7-year-over-year-to-reach-37.5-gwhttps://www.utilitydive.com/news/in-2026-virtual-power-plants-must-scale-or-risk-being-left-behind/810321/https://ieefa.org/resources/case-virtual-power-plantshttps://uplight.com/blog/virtual-power-plants-are-powering-the-grid-of-the-future-and-uplight-is-leading-the-way/https://sepapower.org/knowledge/vpp-and-supporting-der-policy-developments-q1-2026/https://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/consumers/solar-and-batteries/south-australias-virtual-power-planthttps://whatisavpp.com/research/topics/enpal-flexa/https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/virtual-power-plants/rooftop-solar-industry-trump-budget-lawhttps://foleyhoag.com/news-and-insights/blogs/energy-and-climate-counsel/2026/july/virtual-power-plants-the-distributed-energy-revolution-has-arrived/https://ieefa.org/resources/case-virtual-power-plantshttps://sepapower.org/knowledge/vpp-and-supporting-der-policy-developments-q1-2026/https://www.cesa.org/resource-library/resource/puerto-rico-virtual-power-plant/https://www.energy.gov/edf/virtual-power-plants-projectshttps://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/consumers/solar-and-batteries/south-australias-virtual-power-planthttps://www.ess-news.com/2025/01/16/china-launches-work-on-its-first-gw-scale-residential-virtual-power-plant/https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-order-no-2222-explainer-facilitating-participation-electricity-markets-distributed-energyhttps://www.utilitydive.com/news/in-2026-virtual-power-plants-must-scale-or-risk-being-left-behind/810321/ This is a public episode.

Join EEBA and Sunrun to learn about Houston's distributed energy landscape and how builders can differentiate their communities with battery storage. We'll cover macro factors driving consumer demand in the region, Sunrun & NRG Energy's partnership to deploy a Distributed Power Plant in Texas and the value proposition for builders and their homebuyers.Learning Objectives: 1)  Gain insight into the Houston energy market.2)  Understand the function of a Distributed Power Plant (DPP).3) Discover the rising homebuyer demand for distributed energy.4) Overview of the Sunrun and NRG partnership.5) The value proposition of including distributed energy in communities for Houston homebuilders and their homebuyers. 

Michael Grasso spent his career building some of the largest residential virtual power plants in the country — from Vistra Corp Solar to Sunrun to Sunnova — before founding GridRails, a software platform built for load-serving entities to bring distributed energy resources online, visualize them, control them, and settle the economics, all through a single system.James and Michael dig into why only about 20% of the demand-response market has been captured despite roughly 11 million Americans already enrolled, and why Michael sees this as a two-sided problem: utilities lacking the tools to build flexible programs, and consumers uninterested in the rigid offerings they've been given. They talk through how real-time price and demand signals — rather than fixed, regulator-bound programs — could unlock far more participation.The conversation turns to one of the fastest-moving trends in the industry: the rise of "edge" data centers sited on distribution networks rather than transmission, and what it means to orchestrate flexibility for facilities whose inference-driven load rises and falls throughout the day. They also cover the regulatory tailwinds coming out of FERC Order 2222, why 34 states now have some form of structured VPP program, and why Michael argues that simplifying those programs — not adding more structure — is the real path to scale.A candid, wide-ranging conversation about coordination, complexity, and what it will actually take to keep the grid working as electrification accelerates.Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development.

Is solar still worth it in California in 2026? With changing PG&E billing rules, NEM 3.0, battery storage, evolving solar incentives and plenty of conflicting information, homeowners may be wondering whether installing solar still makes financial sense.In this episode of the Kern County Real Estate Review, Laurie McCarty talks with Marshall Dunn of Sunrun about what California homeowners need to know before going solar in 2026. They break down how solar has changed over the last several years, how PG&E credits homeowners for excess electricity today, what NEM 2.0, NEM 3.0 and the Net Billing Tariff actually mean, and why battery storage has become such an important part of the solar conversation.They also tackle some of the biggest questions and misconceptions surrounding solar: Will solar eliminate your PG&E bill? Does solar still save money under California's new rules? Who is—and isn't—a good candidate for solar? What should homeowners know about current tax credits and incentives? And how could growing electricity demand from AI data centers affect the grid, utility costs and the future role of residential solar and battery storage?Plus, if you may sell your home someday, you'll want to hear the real estate side of the conversation. Laurie and Marshall discuss what happens when you sell a house with solar panels, the differences between owned, financed and leased systems and power purchase agreements, what happens if your roof needs to be replaced, and the questions homeowners should ask before signing a solar contract.Whether you're considering solar, already have panels on your home, are thinking about adding a battery, or simply want to understand why your PG&E bill looks the way it does, this episode offers a timely look at residential solar in California in 2026—and what homeowners should know before making their next move.Contact Marshall: https://bestcompany.com/reps/marshall-dunn/t/sales/profile

The U.S. needs 400 GW of new capacity over the next two decades. Michael Grasso, CEO and founder of Grid Rails, tells Tim Montague that roughly twice that much flexible capacity is already plugged in, and explains why only 20% of eligible devices are enrolled in virtual power plant programs today.Data centers, EVs, heat pumps, and new construction are pushing U.S. electricity demand up by roughly 50%, about 400 gigawatts over the next two decades. The reflex answer is to build more generation. Michael Grasso thinks we are solving the wrong problem.Grasso is the CEO and founder of Grid Rails, and he spent 17 years getting to that conclusion. He helped deploy the first residential storage batteries at Sunrun, first on LG Chem hardware and then on Tesla, and he ran the largest residential storage virtual power plant in the country at Sunnova, supporting Luma's grid in Puerto Rico. His argument: the flexible capacity sitting inside the devices causing the load growth is close to double the load growth itself. What is missing is the orchestration and settlement layer that turns those EVs, batteries, thermostats, and water heaters into dispatchable grid capacity, and pays the consumer for it in real time instead of months later as a buried bill credit.Thirty-four states now have some form of demand response or VPP program on the books, and by Grasso's numbers, only about 20% of eligible devices are actually enrolled. Tim pushes hard on why, and on whether any of this pencils for a homeowner who does not want one more app sending notifications.What you will learn:Why 80% of eligible devices are still on the sidelines, and why Grasso calls that a program design problem rather than a hardware problemHow real-time settlement changes consumer behavior, and what it unlocks for utilities beyond incentives: collateral, cost of capital, bad debt, and new products like prepaid or unlimited EV chargingWhy Grid Rails is built for the moment a customer opts out, not for constant notifications, and how opt-out recovery keeps programs from quietly bleeding participantsThe ERCOT math driving utility urgency: roughly $50 per MWh bought forward against spot exposure that can run to $5,000What Grasso says a simple VPP application is worth to a household, around $500 a year in most markets and into the thousands in some, and why he thinks a more dynamic market leaves a lot more on the tableWhy per-device budgets matter, from capping EV charging at $15 a week to holding air conditioning to 20% of the billGrasso points to headlines warning that the largest utility in the country is signaling blackout risk as soon as 2027, and treats that as the pressure finally moving utilities toward orchestration. Tim comes at it as a customer, not an analyst: he does not have a battery yet, his own rate just jumped 25%, and he wants a number before he buys.

What if your home could cut electricity bills by 60%, survive weeks without the grid, and earn money while you sleep?Lunar Energy is building an integrated home energy system combining solar, batteries, load controls, and AI-powered software. Its GridShare platform already manages 650+ MW across 150,000 homes, including third-party hardware.Founder and CEO Kunal Girotra previously led Tesla Energy from 2015 to 2020, helping bring Powerwall into residential energy storage. He has since raised more than $230 million to build Lunar.Here's what we discussed:How to turn homes into distributed power plants — Why combining batteries, solar, controllable loads, and virtual power plants can lower bills, provide backup power, and create new grid revenue for homeowners.Why software matters more than battery hardware — How Lunar uses device-agnostic software to manage its own products and third-party equipment across 150,000 homes and 650+ MW of capacity.How AI can cut electricity costs by another 10–15% — Why localized, real-time optimization against changing import and export prices outperforms basic solar-plus-storage self-consumption.Why leasing is becoming the default for home batteries — How zero-down financing, tax-credit changes, and immediate monthly savings have pushed roughly 80% of Lunar customers toward leases.How to raise $230M for a climate hardware company — Why proving product-market fit, securing Sunrun as both an investor and distribution partner, and demonstrating resilience under adversity mattered more than ambitious promises.--1️⃣ Join our confidential CEO community.Private CEO group for VC/PE-backed climate tech founders navigating capital, strategy, and scale.

In this episode of Electric People, host Ty Williams sits down with Sunrun Chief Operating Officer Patrick Kent (PK) for a masterclass on navigating massive career growth and leading with operational excellence. Drawing on his 12-year journey from a frontline sales representative to the COO of the clean energy leader, PK shares his transformative philosophy of acting as a "referee" rather than a "judge and jury" by establishing clear, unwavering expectations. The conversation dives deep into his high-stakes overhaul of Sunrun's operations, breaking down how he rejected "false trade-offs" (lazy binary thinking), structured the business around four core pillars, and bridged the historical gap between sales and operations. PK also outlines his ruthless problem-solving framework—tearing complex challenges apart, prioritizing ruthlessly, and engineering rollouts so simple they are impossible to miss—offering essential blueprints for anyone striving to build a bulletproof professional foundation.

In this episode of Electric People, host Ty Williams sits down with Sunrun Senior Market Leader Ryan Wright to unpack his extraordinary transition from a top-tier global music executive to an elite operator in the clean energy sector. Ryan details his fascinating background orchestrating international marketing campaigns for legendary artists like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake, alongside his time co-founding the disruptive record label AWAL, before pivoting his "rebel soul" mindset toward solar energy. The conversation explores the tactical precision behind Sunrun's strategic shift into dispatchable battery storage and the leadership required to oversee thousands of regional installs. Sharing insights on his personal philosophy of maintaining an unwavering positive focus and a "be so good they can't ignore you" work ethic, Ryan provides a masterclass on navigating high-stakes career evolution and building a lasting legacy.

The power system is aging and poorly equipped to handle the rapid, large-scale shift toward renewables. According to Philipp Schröder, CEO of 1KOMMA5°, the real solutions lie “behind the meter.”  Gerard and Laurent sit down with Schröder to unpack what it will take to unlock the so-called “Behind the Meter” revolution.  Schröder is among a small group of European founders aiming to build a vertically integrated, consumer-focused clean energy company—something akin to a European hybrid of Tesla Energy and Sunrun. His approach combines hardware (such as solar PV systems, home batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers), installation networks, intelligent software (including IoT-driven energy management like “Heartbeat”), and active participation in energy markets.  Software is becoming increasingly critical. Grid management and pricing systems remain outdated and inefficient, especially in Germany, where reform has been slow due to entrenched interests and the slow deployment of smart meters. By contrast, countries like Sweden are already moving ahead with more modern approaches.  The company's growth appears to validate this strategy. 1KOMMA5° now employs over 3,000 people, is approaching EUR1 billion in annual revenue, and has raised EUR400 million from investors including Eurazeo, CalSTRS, and several prominent family offices.  Key questions remain: How does Schröder position 1KOMMA5° against competitors like Octopus, Enpal, Base, and Thermondo? Is he building the next kind of utility—or deliberately staying outside that model? And how does he navigate policy challenges, particularly when engaging with energy leaders in Germany who remain supportive of fossil fuels?  A fascinating conversation with a formidable entrepreneur who gives back literally “Power to the People”.

In this episode of Electric People, host Ty Williams welcomes back Shawn Watson, a legendary professional wakeboarder turned elite sales executive, to discuss his remarkable transformation from world-class athlete to Senior Market Leader at Sunrun. Moving beyond his 20-year career on the water, Shawn shares the tactical precision and mental grit required to pivot into the high-stakes world of direct-to-home energy. The conversation dives deep into the internal drive that allowed Shawn to rise from a rookie representative to a regional leader managing thousands of installs. Through stories of elite preparation, approachable leadership, and the discipline of a pro athlete, Shawn provides a masterclass on how to reinvent oneself and send a new pulse through a competitive industry.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits back down with Ty Williams, senior executive at Sunrun and one of the most respected leaders in the direct sales industry, for a deeper, more evolved conversation on leadership, reinvention, and staying relevant in a rapidly changing world.Ty shares how his thinking has sharpened through new challenges at scale, from navigating executive leadership to preparing for massive shifts in technology, energy, and the workforce. He introduces the idea of “sales craft” as something far greater than performance, a framework for life built on adaptability, judgment, and continuous growth.Together, he and Casey explore why comfort is often the biggest threat to long term success, how great leaders consistently recreate themselves, and what it means to operate with urgency in moments that truly matter. Ty also opens up about his obsession with optionality, his fear of stagnation, and the internal standard of always “impressing yourself.”This episode targets entrepreneurs and leaders who want to evolve with intention, embrace change, and refuse to settle at any stage of the journey.

The discussion dives into the evolution of solar giants, the critical importance of vertical integration, and the strategic shift toward dispatchable energy resources and battery storage to stabilize the modern grid. Offering rare insight into the operator's mindset, Patrick highlights how professional-grade financial oversight and a "rebel" spirit of innovation are essential for sending a pulse through the multi-trillion dollar energy industry.
