Enphase Energy announced today that it is expanding its support for virtual power plants (VPPs) in Puerto Rico and Colorado powered by the IQ Battery 5P.<\/p>\n
Grid services programs are offered by electric utilities and often use energy stored in home batteries to help reduce load on the electric grid when it is needed most, like during periods of peak electricity demand. This reduces reliance on costly and polluting power plants for electricity and, in return, can provide incentives to homeowners from their utility company. Incentives may be provided as a discount on the purchase of an Enphase Energy System with IQ Batteries or as ongoing payments to participating homeowners. Homeowners are most recently eligible to enroll in the following programs:<\/p>\n
