Tesla, Sunrun and Renew Home plan 16.8 GW virtual power plant for AI data centers
Tesla, Sunrun and Renew Home agreed to build what they call the largest U.S. virtual power plant to meet rising electricity demand from AI data centers. The plan would aggregate existing distributed resources such as home batteries and smart thermostats, targeting up to 16.8 GW without building new power plants. The first rollout is in Virginia, with more than 300 MW available immediately and at least 500 MW possible by 2030.
