Brazil needs updated rules to let virtual power plants replace costly thermal power. #virtualpowerplants
Coordination can bring value to Brazil - pv magazine Global
More curtailment and steeper ramp rates are proving costly in Brazil, but a lack of regulation for virtual power plants (VPPs) is limiting the potential for distributed assets to smooth out the demand curve. Henrique Ribeiro from S&P Global explains how VPPs could better support Brazil’s transition while reducing reliance on expensive thermal generators.

Energy market specialist Tim Ryan says retailers are gaming everything from Solar Sharer and VPPs to dynamic network tariffs to protect their profits, and consumers are “the meal on the table.”

If I'm not mistaken, there are about half a million school buses in the USA. Over 4,000 of U.S. school buses are now electric.
I hope that centralized charging infrastructure like the school districts and their contractors need could be hardened enough to become VPPs.

BGE details forecasting upgrades and Hereford battery deployment that deferred substation work
BGE told the Commission it has deployed new hourly forecasting, is triaging distribution constraints toward low‑cost load transfers first, and expects to deploy ~3 MW of battery storage in Hereford to defer a substation upgrade; BGE said it currently screens non‑wire options primarily for front‑of‑meter batteries but expects VPPs and DERs to play growing roles.
