The global virtual power plant market size is anticipated to reach USD 16.65 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 22.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research. Virtual power plants (VPPs) can play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector. Virtual power plants can be programmed to prioritize the use of clean energy sources and minimize the use of carbon-intensive generation sources when possible, thus lowering overall emissions associated with electricity production. Through advanced control algorithms and real-time monitoring, virtual power plants can optimize energy production and consumption, reducing energy waste and associated emissions.
Virtual power plants offer several benefits to customers, both residential and commercial, by providing them with greater control over their energy consumption and cost savings. Customers can reduce their energy bills by participating in virtual power plant programs. Virtual power plant enables customers to take advantage of time-of-use pricing and demand response opportunities, allowing them to shift energy consumption to lower-cost periods and avoid peak-demand charges. Virtual power plants often come with advanced energy management tools and applications that allow customers to monitor and control their energy usage in real-time.
Stringent government regulations can play a significant role in driving the use of virtual power plants. Regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions often incentivize adopting clean energy technologies. Virtual power plants, by enabling the integration of renewables and demand response, contribute to reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector, aligning with government emission reduction goals. Governments often invest in grid modernization efforts to improve the overall efficiency and intelligence of the power grid.
