According to the U.S. Department of Energy, [virtual power plants](https://www.energy.gov/lpo/virtual-power-plants) are “a connected aggregation of distributed energy resource (DER) technologies.” In simple terms, this means that VPPs pull together all the miscellaneous energy sources that now feed our energy grid. They offer increased renewable integration and are more flexible than physical power stations.
