California is advancing virtual power plant (VPP) legislation with SB 913 and SB 905 to improve valuation and grid utilisation for distributed energy resources, while Octopus Energy has invested in Uplight to scale customer-centric energy flexibility solutions in the US.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

California’s new rules let you sell full battery capacity to wholesale markets, opening major revenue streams for VPP operators. Utilities will need partners who can shift load off-peak, making your flexible energy solutions a must-have.
