Building Megawatts: Harnessing C&I Sites to Expand VPP Capacity
Today’s electricity grids face accelerating spikes in demand due to rapid adoption of electric vehicles, solar panels and batteries, as well as the electrification of commercial buildings and industrial processes. With extreme weather and renewable energy intermittency added to the mix, utilities must find new ways to meet demand and maintain resilience.
Instead of responding with new power plants and transmission & distribution lines, utilities are increasingly turning to non-wires alternatives (NWA), including virtual power plants (VPPs) to harness otherwise untapped distributed energy resources (DERs) – from smart thermostats and EV batteries to grid-scale solar and storage. In its latest evolution, the Turnkey VPP provides end-to-end service to deliver DER capacity to power providers without complexity.
In order to be effective when and where demand is greatest, Turnkey VPPs must be built upon a diverse range of assets and broad partner networks. C&I buildings and sites represent a massive but under-tapped mother lode of capacity for VPPs. Join AutoGrid’s Sadia Raveendran, Alex Pratt, and Schneider Electric’s Tyler Haak for a discussion on the power and promise of integrating C&I resources, including Schneider’s Digital Buildings customer base, into AutoGrid Turnkey VPPs.

Who Should Attend:
- Utilities, EaaS providers, energy retailers, IPPs, aggregators
- C&I energy managers, building developers/owners/operators
Learn How:
- Utilities can tap into clean capacity Turnkey VPPs with or without an RFP.
- The combination of Schneider’s vast installed base and AutoGrid’s leading turnkey offering is changing the game.
- C&I and building owner/operators are meeting ESG and decarbonization goals AND finding new revenue streams by participating in VPPs.
