Arizona utilities approve new technologies to accelerate residential storage and VPP deployment
- •Arizona utilities have approved specific residential battery (FranklinWH) and electric meter (ConnectDER) technologies for integration into programs designed to accelerate home storage and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) deployment.
- •This initiative signals a growing utility-backed market for distributed energy resources (DERs) and VPPs in Arizona, creating clearer pathways and potential revenue streams for VPP aggregators and technology providers.
- •The approval of these OEM technologies by utilities streamlines their integration into grid services, potentially setting a precedent for similar programs in other regions and reducing market entry barriers for approved vendors.
