In this episode of the EV Ready Podcast, Chris Nihan interviews Marissa Galizia, the Senior Director of Partnerships at Voltus. They discuss the complexities of the power grid, emphasizing the significance of demand response and the evolving landscape of energy management.
Their discussion covers the roles of independent system operators (ISO) and utilities, the challenges associated with balancing supply and demand, and the innovative programs designed to boost grid resilience and sustainability.
They highlight that the grid necessitates careful balance, with independent system operators managing supply and demand. Galizia explains how demand response can prevent blackouts by balancing energy use, especially as the grid faces increased demand from AI and electrification.
Virtual power plants (VPP) are emerging to aggregate energy users in support of the grid, allowing participants to earn revenue by reducing energy consumption. The conversation also reveals how utilities are evolving to incorporate new technologies and customers, particularly in deregulated markets that are more receptive to demand response programs.
They discuss innovative programs like Carbon Response that focus on reducing carbon emissions. Lastly, the partnership between Voltus and EV Ready is emphasized, illustrating how such collaborations drive sustainability and economic benefits for energy users, particularly through enhancements in EV charging stations.
