The VPP has notable benefits, as it helps support Puerto Rico’s power grid while providing compensation for homeowners participating in the program. Such a network of batteries would likely aid the grid very well. The utilization of the VPP could prevent power outages and reduce the need to rely on fossil fuel-powered peaker plants.

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, part of smart energy management , will help stabilize that demand – if we make V2G easy, convenient, and profitable for drivers to use. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. Convincing EV owners to give back to the grid will take more than a vision of making the world better.
