Canary Media: Will California Fund or Kill its Thriving Virtual Power Plant Program?

Canary Media reports that California lawmakers are weighing a proposal to eliminate the state’s Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program, which pays consumers to reduce their energy use or who provide power to the grid during times of peak electricity demand. United’s Leah Rubin Shen emphasized that DSGS should be maintained to provide stability while lawmakers establish a clear pathway to integrate these resources into a stronger, more durable market framework that builds on the program’s success.
