Frader-Thompson: Tens of thousands of events prove VPPs are 99.9% reliable
“Like, I can show you data from literally tens of thousands of events showing that this thing is 99.9 plus percent reliable.”
Frader-Thompson: VPPs need roughly 50 MW to interest utility control rooms
“I think scale is the other thing, right? I mean, I think Stacy talks about there being a threshold like somewhere around 50 megawatts where, you know, you are actually at the scale of a, an individual beaker plant, and that's kind of the that's kind of the hur…”
