en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. residential energy companies Sunrun, Tesla, and Renew Home have announced a partnership to integrate over 16 gigawatts of flexible energy capacity across the United States, providing dispatchable capabilities to data centers and utility companies. This U.S. distributed power plant project will leverage residential batteries, smart thermostats, and other home-side flexible load resources.

The project will extract dispatchable capacity from hundreds of thousands of home batteries operated by Sunrun and Tesla, combined with peak regulation capabilities from over 8 million smart thermostats and devices managed by Renew Home. The three companies stated that in the data center cluster region of Virginia, over 300 megawatts of capacity are currently available for immediate deployment.

The U.S. distributed power plant project also plans to provide capacity to PJM's proposed reliability reserve process, with over 1 gigawatt currently releasable and additional capacity to be gradually deployed. As the 16 GW flexible energy capacity partnership takes shape, residential batteries, virtual power plants, data center energy supply, grid dispatch, and demand response services will become new development directions for the U.S. energy system.
