Ben Hertz-Shargel of Wood Mackenzie recently spoke to the Financial Times about his 2025 virtual power plant (VPP) report. According to the report, VPP capacity has grown 13.7 per cent in 2025, a much smaller rate than the 33 per cent increase in the number of new programmes and companies that have deployed the technology. Ben said the reason for the slower than expected growth was utilities often create VPP pilot programmes that tend to be limited to a certain number of participants. There are also barriers in certain markets that prevent residential and small commercial customers from participating. Read more: https://okt.to/2BsDuS

This CMU/NC State demand map reveals which regions are in for the biggest infrastructure challenges. Data centers aren't spreading out evenly. By 2030, Texas and PJM will handle most of the new load. The national implications are serious: • 275M additional tons of CO₂ • 25+ GW of coal plants staying online instead of retiring • Electricity costs rising 8% nationally (25%+ in the hardest-hit regions) These consequences stem from how utilities are forced to respond to concentrated demand. Utilities must manage large-scale facilities on compressed timelines in specific areas, which is why new House legislation gives FERC authority to fast-track dispatchable generation in interconnection queues. For protection engineers, these fast-tracked, large-scale facilities create specific technical challenges around implementing reliable systems within accelerated development schedules.

ICYMI: Switched Source LLC is redefining how utilities unlock more from the grid. ⚡ T&D World recently featured Georgia Power’s deployment of Switched Source’s Phase-EQ device, an advanced phase balancing technology developed with support from Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). Installed in Macon, Georgia, Phase-EQ is already showing potential to boost line capacity by up to 20%, while reducing load and voltage imbalances to enhance power quality and reliability. By dynamically balancing power flow across phases, Phase-EQ helps utilities like Georgia Power get more from their existing infrastructure—lowering costs and strengthening reliability for customers. It’s a clear example of how innovation at the distribution level can deliver tangible results for the grid transition.
