How VPPCompare Works
We make it easy to find, compare, and choose the right Virtual Power Plant program for your home in Colorado and across the USA.
Browse Available VPPs
Visit our Compare page to see all Virtual Power Plant programs currently available in the United States. Each listing includes the provider name, feed-in rate, signup bonus, supported battery brands, and which states the program operates in.
Filter & Sort
Use the filter bar to narrow results by your state (e.g. CO, CA, TX). Sort by feed-in rate to find the highest paying program, or by signup bonus if you want the best upfront deal.
Compare Side by Side
Our card-based layout lets you quickly scan and compare multiple VPPs. See at a glance which programs offer the best rates, which batteries are supported, and what requirements you need to meet.
Choose & Sign Up
Once you have found the VPP that suits your needs, click the "Learn More" button to visit the provider's website directly. You sign up with the provider — VPPCompare is a free comparison tool and does not handle signups.
What is a Virtual Power Plant?
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of distributed energy resources — like home solar panels and batteries — that are connected and coordinated through software to act as a single power plant.
When you join a VPP, your home battery can export stored energy back to the grid during periods of high demand. In return, you receive credits on your electricity bill, higher feed-in rates, or signup bonuses from the VPP provider.
VPPs help stabilize the electricity grid, reduce reliance on fossil-fuel peaker plants, and put money back in your pocket. They are a key part of America's transition to a cleaner, more distributed energy system — and Colorado is leading the way with its strong solar resources and progressive energy policies.
What do you need to join a VPP?
- Solar panels — most VPPs require an existing rooftop solar system.
- Home battery — a compatible battery (e.g. Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, Generac) is usually required.
- Internet connection — the VPP software needs to communicate with your battery in real time.
- Eligible location — VPP programs are available in specific US states. Colorado has several active programs.
