Get paid to power the transition to a more reliable, more flexible, and cleaner electric grid

Learn how your business can participate in demand response programs and become a valuable asset in Enel North America’s virtual power plant (VPP) to support grid reliability, earn payments, and advance the energy transition.

The future of energy is flexible – and powered by businesses like yours

Rising demand. Aging infrastructure. Extreme weather. Our electric grid is facing unprecedented challenges that threaten reliability, and your business can be part of the solution.


Enel’s VPP brings together flexible demand response resources to create a smarter, more cost-effective, and dynamic energy system. When the electric grid is under stress and demand outpaces available supply, demand response participants in Enel’s VPP temporarily reduce energy use and/or tap into on-site generation to help stabilize the grid, working together like an additional power plant. In return, they earn valuable payments for supporting grid reliability.
