The US virtual power plant (VPP) market is rapidly expanding, reaching 37.5 GW of flexible capacity by 2025, as reported by Wood Mackenzie. VPPs integrate small energy systems like solar panels, battery storage, and EVs into a unified network. Despite a 33% increase in deployments and buyers, total capacity grew only 14% due to regulatory barriers. Residential customers now represent 10.2% of the market, while battery and EV deployments account for 61% of VPP programs, indicating a shift in the energy landscape.
