Texas Home Battery & Virtual Power Plant: Informational Overview
Electricity demand across Texas can vary significantly by season and time of day. As a result, many homeowners are exploring resilience and energy storage concepts — including home batteries and the idea of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
A Virtual Power Plant is a coordinated network of distributed energy resources (such as battery storage) that, where allowed, may be used to support grid needs during certain periods. Participation and program design can vary widely and depend on applicable laws, market rules, utility requirements, and customer agreements.
What This Page Is (and Is Not)
This page is informational. It is not a utility offer, not a contract, and not an enrollment for any home battery program. Any future program availability, eligibility, installation terms, participation requirements, and potential benefits would be described only in official program documentation provided prior to any enrollment.
Home Batteries: What They May Do
- Backup power during certain outage conditions (depending on equipment design and configuration)
- Energy storage for use at a later time
- Optional participation in grid-support programs if such programs are available and approved in a given area
Virtual Power Plants: Important Clarifications
In some market structures, third-party program providers may be compensated for providing grid-support services. Whether any portion of that compensation is shared with customers depends entirely on the finalized program design and the customer’s agreement.
No guarantees: Savings, bill impacts, compensation, or participation are not guaranteed. Outcomes may depend on eligibility, customer electricity usage patterns, equipment configuration, performance requirements, utility rates, market conditions, and regulatory approvals.
