We are working with Voltus to build a 1-gigawatt virtual power plant.

Google is partnering with Voltus to develop a 1-gigawatt virtual power plant designed to enhance grid reliability for 67 million people. This initiative focuses on optimizing the existing grid rather than constructing traditional power plants. By paying businesses and homeowners to reduce electricity consumption during peak strain, the project lowers overall power demand. Examples include adjusting thermostats in stores or using batteries in factories, marking one of the largest VPP deals from a hyperscaler to date.
