Community Power Networks, also known as Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), coordinate thousands of small energy sources that already exist in our communities — community solar, rooftop panels, batteries, EVs, and more. By coordinating these resources, a Community Power Network keeps energy flowing when the grid is under strain and reduces the need for costly grid upgrades that drive bills up. This is reliability built from the ground up, powered by the people who live in the community. VPPs put families at the center of a stronger, more affordable, and more resilient energy system.

Solar-powered smoothies? Yes please! We joined the SUNNY Coalition and pro-solar elected officials at the NYS Capitol to rally and show support for the Solar Up Now New York (SUNNY) Act ☀️ The bill passed the Senate on Earth Day (UNANIMOUSLY!) and we are now calling on the Assembly to match them. Bringing plug-in solar to the grid should be a smooth transition – it's affordable, safe, and makes solar solutions more accessible.

At the same time that 1 in 5 California residents are behind on their utility bills, PG&E, Sempra and Edison’s CEOs are paid multi-million dollar salaries. All three CEOs are among the ten highest paid utility CEOs in the country. energyandpolicy.org/utility-ceo-pa…

Connecticut is undergoing a major shift in how utilities are regulated—and it’s worth paying attention to. Historically, utilities have operated under a model where investments are made first and evaluated later through the ratemaking process. PBR flips that approach. It starts with clear goals and asks a simple question: Are utilities achieving the outcomes that matter? Learn more here: fortnightly.com/fortnightly/20…

Community Power Networks link the affordable clean energy we already have in our communities — rooftop solar, home batteries, smart devices — into one shared resource that can support the grid when demand spikes. Instead of building expensive new fossil fuel plants, a community power network coordinates what we already have, lowering costs for families and reducing strain when demand spikes or the energy grid is under stress. It’s reliable power made local, flexible, and accessible. When our neighborhoods generate and share energy, everyone benefits.
