Play a key role in shaping the growth of Puerto Rico’s first Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program, contributing to strategy, problem-solving, and future goals to support grid resilience and meet the island’s growing energy needs. Join us for a hands-on, collaborative workshop where you'll step into the role of strategist and decision-maker for Puerto Rico's first Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program, Customer Battery Energy Sharing (CBES). With over 7,000 customers already participating, this program is crucial for responding to grid challenges and emergency dispatch signals. Given Puerto Rico’s energy demands and evolving market, we’re exploring ways to expand distributed resources to support grid resilience both now and in the future. This session includes an update from LUMA on program progress and invites your expertise in problem-solving, idea generation, and feedback on key factors to shape the future of VPPs. Engage directly with program leaders to contribute your experience and vision, helping to refine strategies, identify priorities, and set directional goals for VPP growth in Puerto Rico. Your insights will be instrumental in driving impactful solutions forward.
