Find VPP programs for your home
Virtual Power Plants pay you for sharing power from your home — your battery, smart thermostat, EV, or even a smart plug. Enter your ZIP to see what's available where you live.
What is a VPP?
A Virtual Power Plant is a group of distributed home energy devices — batteries, thermostats, EV chargers — that the grid can call on during peak demand. You opt in, the grid leans on your devices for short moments, and you get paid.
How much can I earn?
Depends on the program and what devices you have. A home battery in an active VPP can earn hundreds of dollars a year in bill credits. A smart thermostat enrollment is often $25–150/year. Most programs cost nothing to join.
