Virtual Power Plant Programs: Creating a Smart Grid for the Future

Extreme weather conditions and increased electricity-use during peak times can put a strain on the electrical grid beyond what it can support. This can result in power outages or rolling blackouts that disrupt your comfort and safety.

Generac set out to solve this problem by delivering turn-key distributed energy assets such as generators, battery storage systems, and smart thermostats, that can be interconnected and operate together. Through a VPP program, the collective energy is controlled centrally and dispersed as needed to stabilize the grid during periods of peak demand. As the owner of a Generac product equipped with Smart Grid Ready technology, you can join in this innovative solution to help maintain grid stability and increase your energy independence.

Products Equipped with Smart Grid Ready Technology Include*:

  • Generac home standby generators
  • Generac commercial and industrial generators
  • PWRcell solar + battery storage systems
1 VPP programs are not available in all locations.
*Models manufactured prior to 2018 may not include Smart Grid Ready technology. Visit the FAQs section to see a full list of applicable models or to learn how to upgrade your system.
