Tesla has unveiled a virtual power plant program for its Powerwall customers in Puerto Rico and a zero down offer for selected customers.
. Like most islands, Puerto Rico has an energy problem. Electricity has become a fundamental component of modern life, but generating it on relatively small patches of land in the middle of vast oceans is challenging. Regardless of whether the generators are powered by coal, oil, diesel, or methane gas, the fuel has to be brought to the island by ships, which makes the electricity expensive.
“Tesla Virtual Power Plant connects distributed batteries installed in residential homes, enhancing Puerto Rico’s grid reliability and resiliency. By joining the Battery Emergency Demand Response Program, your Powerwall will be dispatched to provide emergency support when the grid needs it most. Participation allows you to earn $1 for every kWh your Powerwall supplies during such events.
Tesla is one of those approved aggregators. Customers who already have a Powerwall installed can apply to join the VPP program by using their Tesla Energy app. Once their eligibility is confirmed, they will be enrolled automatically.
