VPPs are ready to step up – but the market needs to catch up

Last week, we hosted a roundtable at Piper Maddox as part of the Clean Energy Exchange event series, focused on grid flexibility. With Michael Lee moderating, we had folks from Tesla, Leap, Olivine, Enersponse, Shadowpower, and others who know this space inside out. The feeling in the (virtual) room? We’re at a real tipping point. Virtual Power Plants aren’t just “emergency response” tools anymore, they’re critical infrastructure, and the market conditions are lining up perfectly for them to step up. Capacity prices are through the roof, wholesale markets are volatile, and demand is growing in ways the old models can’t handle. This is exactly when VPPs should be at the forefront of conversations: fast to deploy, low-cost, and able to deliver flexibility exactly where it’s needed. 1. The market design problem The problem is the market design hasn’t caught up. We’re still stuck with siloed programs that box in assets instead of letting them work where they have the most impact. We need models that open up multiple revenue streams and recognise that not all VPP resources are the same – an HVAC system doesn’t behave like an EV fleet or a battery, and they shouldn’t be valued like they do. One point that landed hard in the discussion was around local value. The way we price flexibility right now is far too broad. A single neighbourhood with a cluster of flexible assets can fix a local constraint far more cheaply than building more infrastructure – but you’d never know that from today’s pricing zones. We need distribution-level nodal pricing that actually reflects the hyper-local impact these assets can have. 2. Balancing grid and customer needs Then there’s the customer side. Batteries are the classic example – the grid wants certainty, customers want backup. If programs can’t balance those needs, participation will always be limited. With over 3,500 utilities in the US, capability is all over the place. Some are ready to play, others are decades behind. Meeting them where they are, or going around them when we have to – will be key. That means understanding the realities of each market, working with what’s already in place, and finding ways to connect customers and utilities without overcomplicating the participation process. 3. The missing industry voice The final piece is advocacy. Right now, there’s no unified industry voice pushing for fair valuation or smarter market rules. Imagine what we could do with a coalition of VPP providers, utilities, generators, and even data centres speaking with one voice. The narrative on grid reliability needs a rewrite – and the proof these assets deliver is already there from recent heatwaves and grid events. If we want VPPs to fulfil their potential, we need to align as an industry, decide what we’re pushing for, and make sure the message is loud enough to cut through. Bottom line: VPPs aren’t the future – they’re here. But without changes to market design, pricing, and the way we advocate for them, they’ll stay underused. Get it right, and they can become the backbone of a more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective grid.

Celebrating Global Wind Day 2024: Embracing the Future of Clean Energy

Each year on June 15th, Global Wind Day is celebrated across the world. It is a day for recognising wind energy, its power, and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems, decarbonise our economies, and boost jobs and growth. This year, as we mark Global Wind Day 2024, we reflect on the advancements in wind technology, the growing importance of renewable energy, and the exciting opportunities in the clean energy sector. The Power of Wind: Driving a Sustainable Future Wind energy has emerged as one of the most efficient and sustainable sources of renewable energy. According to windenergy.org, wind power is the largest source of renewable electricity generation in the United States, providing 9.8% of the country’s electricity and growing. (1) Harnessing the natural power of wind through turbines, this clean energy source generates electricity without emitting greenhouse gases or other harmful pollutants. As we face the urgent challenges of climate change, wind energy emerges as a promising solution, providing a practical way to reduce our carbon footprint and transition to a low-carbon economy. In fact, wind power helps avoid 346 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually—equivalent to the emissions of 76 million cars in the US. (2) In 2024, the global wind energy capacity continues to soar, with significant investments in wind farms, offshore wind projects, and innovative technologies. These advancements are not only helping to meet the growing energy demands but are also creating a multitude of job opportunities in the clean energy sector, with the role of wind turbine technician being the fastest-growing job in the US, increasing by 44% over the next decade. (3) Opportunities in the Wind Energy Sector As a clean energy recruitment brand, we are excited about the diverse career opportunities available in the wind energy sector. Spanning engineering and project management to research and development, the wind industry is brimming with possibilities for professionals eager to make an impact. Here are some key areas where the demand for talent is increasing: Engineering and Technical Roles: With the continuous innovation in turbine technology, there is a growing need for skilled engineers and technicians to design, install, and maintain wind turbines. Mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers are particularly in demand to ensure the efficiency and reliability of wind energy systems. Project Management: Developing and managing wind farms requires adept project managers who can oversee the entire lifecycle of wind projects, from planning and permitting to construction and operation. These roles are crucial for ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to high safety standards. Research and Development: As the wind energy sector evolves, there is a constant need for research and development to improve turbine efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance grid integration. Scientists and researchers play a pivotal role in driving innovations that make wind energy more competitive and sustainable.

Environmental scientists and compliance officers work to assess and mitigate the impacts of wind farms on local ecosystems and communities. Sales and Marketing: As the wind energy market expands, professionals in sales and marketing are needed to promote wind projects, secure investments, and educate the public and stakeholders about the benefits of wind energy. Looking Ahead As we look to the future, the importance of wind energy will only continue to grow. The transition to a sustainable energy system is essential, and wind power will be at the forefront of this transformation. By embracing the opportunities in the wind energy sector, we can drive innovation, create jobs, and build a cleaner, greener world for future generations. At Piper Maddox, we are committed to connecting passionate individuals with leading companies in the clean energy sector. Our mission is to support the growth of renewable energy by ensuring that the industry has access to the best talent. Whether you are an experienced professional or just starting your career, there is a place for you in the wind energy sector.

Earth Day 2024: Four groundbreaking technologies shaping the future of sustainability

Celebrated every year on April 22nd, Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future to raise awareness, inspire change, and foster a deeper connection with nature. Today, as we celebrate Earth Day in 2024, it's important to reflect on the steps made in sustainable technology and their role in shaping a more environmentally conscious future. From renewable energy breakthroughs to innovative solutions, these four groundbreaking technologies are at the forefront of shaping the future of sustainability. Next-generation solar panels: Traditional solar panels have long been recognised as a clean energy solution, but advancements in photovoltaic technology are making solar power even more accessible and efficient for powering homes, cars, boats, you name it! We need to ensure that we can continue to revolutinise the way we harness the sun's energy, as currently nearly all solar panels are made from silicon, which boast an efficiency of 22%. This means silicon panels can only convert about one-fifth of the sun's energy into electricity, because the material absorbs only a limited proportion of sunlight's wavelengths. Producing silicon is also expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists have been testing perovskite solar cells by stacking them on top of traditional silicon cells to make tandem cells. Layering the two materials, each absorbing a different part of the sun's spectrum, can potentially increase the panels' efficiency by over 50%. (1) Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU): Addressing the challenge of carbon emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. CCUS involves the capture of CO2, generally from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass as fuel. CCUS facilities currently capture more than 45 Mt CO2 annually. (2) Since January 2022, project developers have announced ambitions for over 50 new capture facilities to be operating by 2030, capturing around 125 Mt CO2 per year. By doing this, it will help to tackle emissions in hard-to-abate sectors, particularly heavy industries like cement, steel or chemicals, and remove CO2 from the air to balance emissions that are unavoidable or technically difficult to abate. Vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture (CEA): With the world's population continuing to grow, sustainable agriculture techniques are essential for ensuring food security while minimising environmental impact. Vertical farming and CEA methods utilise indoor farming systems equipped with LED lighting, hydroponics, and advanced climate control technologies to optimise crop production in urban environments. CEA allows us to produce crops with 70% to 95% less water than required for normal cultivation (3), and therefore by reducing water usage, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides, and minimising land use, these innovative farming practices are revolutionising the way we grow food. Electric and autonomous vehicles: There is no doubt that transportation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, especially with the increase of cars per household, but electric and autonomous vehicles (AVs) offer a cleaner and more efficient alternative. The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), coupled with advancements in AV technology, promises to revolutionise the way we travel, reducing carbon emissions, easing traffic congestion, and enhancing road safety. In fact, under an appropriate pricing strategy, SAV deployment could reduce PM2.5 emission and energy consumption by 56–64% and 53–61%, respectively (4). As we look ahead to a more sustainable future, these four groundbreaking technologies are paving the way for transformative change. Through innovation and collaboration, we can create a world where economic wellbeing aligns with environmental care, securing a healthier planet for future generations. This Earth Day, let's celebrate these technological advancements and pledge to advance sustainability even further.
