Vermont turns home batteries into a virtual power plant
Original: Vermont replacing power plants with home batteries
Thousands of home batteries across Vermont are being networked into a virtual power plant, storing electricity in quiet periods and feeding it back during storms and peak demand. The scheme lets the state rely less on building new conventional power plants, with homeowners sharing capacity through utility programs to keep the lights on when severe weather hits.
Why now: The idea of household batteries replacing traditional power plants offers a striking model for grid resilience and decentralised energy.
