Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)

How Your Home Power Helps
Strengthen the Grid

What Is a Virtual Power Plant?

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) allows home battery systems like the Duracell Power Center MAX HYBRID to work together as a single, flexible power resource—supporting the grid and generating value for owners.

Instead of relying on a single physical power plant, a VPP aggregates energy from homes across a community and intelligently manages it in real time to support the electric grid when it’s needed most.
