CPower Commends Missouri Public Service Commission for Expanding Access to Virtual Power Plants
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Following a landslide vote last week, aggregations of commercial and industrial customers are now eligible to contribute to wholesale market demand response programs to drive reliability and lower energy costs<\/em><\/p>\n

BALTIMORE \u2013 October 16, 2023 <\/strong>\u2014 CPower Energy (“CPower<\/a>“), the leading, national Distributed Energy Resource (DER) monetization and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) provider, today announced its support of the Missouri Public Service Commission\u2019s (\u201cthe Commission\u201d) decision to spur the development of VPPs in Missouri.\u00a0 The Commission’s Order allows commercial and industrial customers across all of Missouri\u2019s investor-owned utilities to work with VPP providers to participate in demand response programs available from the state\u2019s two regional grid operators, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) and the Southwest Power Pool.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s action follows two years of investigation into the benefits associated with allowing DERs to play a more active role in meeting Missouri\u2019s future energy needs with increasing adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy and grid-interactive smart appliances. CPower actively participated in the proceeding that resulted in the recent Order, and looks forward to working with the Commission and Missouri utilities to continue bringing innovative solutions to customers.<\/p>\n

The decision is a win for Missouri\u2019s energy users, businesses and utilities as well as the environment. By expanding access to wholesale demand response programs, Missouri will create new revenue streams for businesses while increasing energy reliability by diversifying the types of assets available to respond to the needs of the grid. This in turn will help lower carbon emissions and will help keep energy costs low by helping the state manage its growing energy demand, using customers\u2019 demand flexibility to reduce the need to build new energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud the Missouri Public Service Commission for its leadership in being the first MISO state with a traditional regulatory model to allow VPP providers and customers to contribute to grid reliability. This is innovation in action as a direct result of advances in public policy,\u201d said Peter Dotson-Westphalen, Senior Director \u2013 Regulatory & Government Affairs, CPower. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with many of the utilities in Missouri and in other jurisdictions and look forward to helping them leverage this new tool to deliver enhanced value and energy reliability to Missouri customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

States across the Midwest are working to develop regulatory frameworks for DERs, such as demand response, in response to potential energy capacity shortfalls<\/a> in coming years and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 2222<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope other Midwest states will take a look at what Missouri is doing to unlock the benefits of VPPs. By taking similar steps, the entire region can improve reliability and resiliency and foster a more sustainable and efficient grid across America\u2019s Heartland,\u201d said Ken Schisler, Senior Vice President \u2013 Regulatory & Government Affairs, CPower.<\/p>\n
