Utilities are moving beyond single-asset demand response and VPPs. This webinar explored how to shift from asset-by-asset thinking to a unified flexibility portfolio, coordinating every connected device as part of a single, high-performing whole.

Key takeaways included:

• The role of each DER in a VPP: We explored the strengths and challenges of different DERs, from thermostats and batteries to EVs and more, and how to best leverage each asset within a portfolio.
• Designing for performance: We discussed how to orchestrate diverse assets, focusing on portfolio-level dispatch rather than device-level control.
• Scaling success: We examined how to design programs that accommodate new asset types and OEM integrations without rebuilding the system from scratch.

Whether the goal is grid reliability, cost-effectiveness, or an improved customer experience, the webinar highlighted how utilities can transform individual devices into dependable, grid-scale capacity.
