Looking forward to bringing together investors and innovators on the forefront of distributed battery storage during #climateweek

We're proud to be partnering with @wonder to control their electricity costs. As the leader in food tech, Wonder knows the best tech for restaurants when they see it!

Thanks to Summer Maxwell @climate for chatting with the team at Cafe Mars and @James_McGinniss about how we're helping them save on power bills with batteries bit.ly/3TGNnhL

Come for @terrycrews in this month's @FOODBEVERAGEMAG but stick around for the David Energy article about how we're saving hospitality businesses money all over NYC bit.ly/4wXUaCd

Our customers helped out the grid during last week's heatwave with our plug-in batteries and @James_McGinniss got to talk about it with @lizzzburden on @BloombergTV. No tradeoff between comfort and taking part in demand response! bit.ly/4f2si8M

Awesome to see @James_McGinniss's bullish take on permissionless DERs from his conversation with @drvolts (and the cool work we're doing with plug-in batteries here in NYC) get a nod in Bill McKibben's most recent Substack. Plug-in is small but mighty! billmckibben.substack.com/p/…

“Outlets are preexisting bidirectional interconnection points.” The time for plug-in DERs is now. Thanks to the inimitable @drvolts for going deep with our CEO @James_McGinniss on the whole class of permissionless DERs. open.substack.com/pub/davidr…

AI usage is leading to a surge in energy demand, becoming a major constraint (and catalyst) for the grid This creates the opportunity for digital solutions to manage flexible capacity, a major theme with our investments in @TheDavidEnergy and @TextureEnergy Check out the 🧵👇

During the #texaseclipse, not only did thousands of homes w/ solar and storage - provided by multiple retailers - provide grid stabiity with residential #solar-charged #batteries (@TheDavidEnergy @reliantenergy @txuenergy @OctopusEnergy @Shell_USA @calpine to name a few), #TeslaElectric #VPP customers in #Dallas and #Houston helped stabilize the grid with #solar and #Powerwall as on-the-spot reserves: they followed dispatch instructions to release their reserved capacity to @ERCOT_ISO to provide #nonspin #ancillaryservice mid-day: as my #VPP team has said today, "deepening of co-ordination & trust between #Texasgrid & distributed resources, where the latter is not just incentivized through real-time price signal, but is ALSO on stand-by to chip in automatically at a moments notice through a day-ahead binding contract" is a same-and-better reliability product that speaks volumes for what #Texans can do to help the grid: and be paid for it. " #ADER - Aggregated #DERs -- is an in-market, competitively priced, reliability service from #residential customers' systems, that is being piloted today, and will be metacritical tomorrow in the state's energy toolbox: We don't need to pay only #bitcoin, #factories, #bigbatteries, #powerplants, we need to pay EVERYONE for the degree of reliabiity they can and will be capable of providing at massive scale: especially on a moment's notice. That's #texasresidents it's #smallbatteries its #backup, it's #TeslaPowerwall, #ADER: that's the future, happening now in #Texas #MoreOfEverything. That is why, there are 20 members on the @PUCTexas #ADERTask Force who are in practice in different fields or parts of the energy value chain, some are in competition as businesses, but ALL are working together to define and validate #DER #VPP reliability so the grid can trust the product and consumers can trust the system. Projects like this are beacons - they're iconic: #Texas will continue to be market leader because these projects can happen here: fearless, avant garde efforts that thrive on competition and cooperation to secure an energy future that must match a tremendous economic growth trajectory. A big congrats to the #TeslaTexas #VPP team & the regulatory & legislative work that has enabled new, compelling, pathbreaking market design in @ercot to make this possible.@JasonRyanTexas @PUCTX #txlege @GregAbbott_TX @DrSchwertner @SenatorBobHall @PhilKingTX @toddahunter @baglino @teslaenergy @Tesla #ADERTaskForce @JigarShahDC @SERobinsonJr @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @ENERGY @SecGranholm @Clm1403 @Stambush @GailAlfarATX @SERobinsonJr @douglewinenergy @_modalla @theamyheart @cnsrvtxns4nrg @OPUCTX @DanPatrick @ERCOT_ISO @APowerAlliance @EnchantedRock @dertaskforce @TLGCarrie Details: VPP Tesla post: linkedin.com/posts/ameetdesh… VPP Customer Data: nitter.siddz.com/Clm1403/status/1… ERCOT Event Data: lnkd.in/g7SWZYuF

8) Richard Smalley predicted the rise of the #VPP He imagined homes with 100 kWh batteries interacting with real time power markets (like @ERCOT_ISO) - enabling high penetrations of wind and solar Companies like @teslaenergy and @TheDavidEnergy have made this a reality With research and support from the DOE, we now have VPP Liftoff nitter.siddz.com/jigarshahdc/status/174…
