Adding incremental capacity through background VPPs
Utilities have an opportunity to call on flexible capacity from OEM aggregations built from customer-owned devices that have energy-management features enabled. In this on‑demand webinar, EnergyHub, Renew Home, and Salt River Project (SRP) break down what it takes to turn these OEM‑managed adjustments on participating devices into incremental, dispatchable capacity.
They’ll explore questions around:
- Background aggregations: What is driving the emergence of this new resource?
- Integration strategy: How can utilities bring background aggregations into their existing VPP operations?
- Operational value: Where does background capacity deliver the most immediate grid impact?
- Field insights: What have early utility test events revealed about customer experience and measured performance?
- Customer value: How can households benefit?
You’ll get a clear, pragmatic look at how background aggregations are becoming a customer‑friendly complement to traditional DR — and what this means for expanding grid value, testing new use cases, and planning the next phase of your VPP strategy.
