Data centers want to connect to the grid faster. Voltus says virtual power plants can help them do so — and cut costs for everyday utility customers.

Tesla, Sunrun, Voltus and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners are involved in the effort.

Voltus, a virtual power plant operator and distributed energy resource platform, recently announced the launch of its "Bring Your Own CapacityTM" product, which it said is a first-of-its-kind solution designed to accelerate data center development by leveraging existing flexibility on the grid.

Voltus's CEO explains how DERs have evolved from an emergency tool to a true grid resource.

Will leveraging existing grid flexibility accelerate data center development?

Voltus is betting an out-of-market financing solution can boost speed to power for data centers.

Voltus CEO Dana Guernsey describes the “massive paradigm shift” underway.

California's power needs are met in many ways. Power plants, solar farms and windmills, and now there is Voltus, a virtual power plant that pays energy users to reduce or shift their power consumption.

Voltus filed a complaint at FERC over MISO's interpretation of a recent rule change that led the grid operator to stop accepting replacements for customers who sign up to provide demand response but retire.
