Sunrun and NRG Energy have partnered to create a virtual power plant in Texas using home batteries to ease power demand on the ERCOT grid. The multi-year partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of distributed energy, offering Texas homeowners solar-plus-storage systems paired with NRG's retail electricity plans. This initiative supports the grid during high demand periods and aims to create a 1 GW virtual power plant by 2035.
