The Lead
Modern power grids were designed for a one-way flow: from the big power plant to your lightbulb. That model is breaking. 'Virtual Power Plants' (VPPs) aggregate thousands of household solar panels, EVs, and smart appliances into a single, dispatchable energy source. We analyze why this 'Decentralized Intelligence' is more reliable than a single gas turbine, and how homeowners are becoming 'Prosumers' in the multi-billion dollar grid-balancing market.
