Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration has two options for California's biggest and most successful virtual power plant program: Give it money to keep running this summer or scrap it altogether. State lawmakers are asking — why end a VPP that's working? www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir... #energysky

As PJM prices rise, flexibility can’t be ignored

Rather than viewing rising capacity costs as simply a burden, energy users should understand them as incentives for more efficient and dynamic loads.
