Google Enters 100 MW "Bring Your Own Capacity" Agreement With VPP, DER Aggregator In PJM
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Voltus, Inc. today announced what it termed a, "landmark Bring Your Own Capacity" (BYOC) three-year agreement with Google.
"With this first-of-its-kind agreement, Voltus will aggregate up to 100 megawatts (MW) of DERs each year -- for instance, batteries, smart thermostats, and other flexible assets -- from local businesses and homes into a Google-funded VPP in PJM[.]"
Voltus will then pay customers who participate in the VPP, "turning Google’s capacity demand into real economic benefits for PJM customers," Voltus said
"Through this initial deal, Google and Voltus aim to create an industry-leading scalable blueprint for how data center capacity needs can be met affordably and reliably through smarter utilization of the grid. By proving this can be a valuable tool for ambitious data center load growth, the partnership establishes a repeatable path for other large energy users to follow -- accelerating clean capacity deployment, bringing direct economic benefits to local communities, and contributing to a robust, reliable grid for everyone," Voltus said
