• Ten states, including California, Texas and Illinois, took four or more VPP- and DER-related actions in 2024, with emphasis on programs using battery storage or multiple types of DERs and an expectation for “continued momentum” in 2025, the organizations said in a report titled “The 50 States of Virtual Power Plants and Supporting Distributed Energy Resources.”
