State officials are currently advancing legislation to support virtual power plants, balcony solar, and community solar initiatives to better utilize distributed energy. Experts suggest the state must simplify its programs to increase the use of flexible load to stabilize the electrical system. Integrating these vehicles into the grid could mitigate power shortages rather than increasing strain.Why it mattersDistributed energy resources allow the state to manage peak demand without relying solely on
