From Clean Energy Review
In Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood, a new “virtual power plant” is flipping the script on how communities use energy. Twenty (but soon-to-be 100) townhomes, each equipped with rooftop solar panels and energy storage, are not just powering themselves—they can feed the grid, manage peak demand, and even provide emergency backup when the lights go out. It’s a glimpse of what clean households could look like across Canada.

A row of town houses with solar panels on their rooves. These townhouses in Edmonton's Blatchford neighbourhood generate solar power and store it in batteries. They're part of a virtual power plant network that can feed power back to the grid. Proponents say VPPs make it possible to add more wind and solar to the grid by filling gaps when it's not windy or sunny. (Landmark Homes)
