Discover How One Vermont Co-op Is Building a Virtual Power Plant

In this episode of CFC Solutions Cast, we speak with Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) Innovation and Technology Leader Cyril Brunner and CFC Vice President of Utility Research & Policy Jan Ahlen about the future impact virtual power plants (VPPs) may have on the electric cooperative network. A VPP is a network of distributed energy resources, such as smart thermostats and batteries, that are operated by a common, centralized control system.

Brunner explains how VEC is introducing VPP programs to its membership and the potential impact he sees for the cooperative’s future. Brunner and Ahlen also discuss the broader implications VPPs could bring to utilities, including improving affordability and reliability as well as increasing member engagement.

VEC is a distribution cooperative located in Johnson, Vermont, providing energy services to over 33,000 members in 75 communities.

Listen to learn how VPPs could be changing the future of utility programs.
