VPP legislative survey

VPP bills, virtual power plant bills, in New York ( A10354) and Michigan (SB 731) both seek to establish VPP programs with 3rd party access.

New York’s VPP plan must be established within 8 months of passage and will include “separate battery and non-battery rider and may include a third rider for electric vehicles. Individual customers with eligible equipment, such as a home battery and an EV, may participate in multiple riders simultaneously.”

Michigan allows for 1 year to develop a VPP program that will include “broadly defined demand response resources whose power consumption can be controlled and from distributed generation and storage resources that can export power to the grid.”
