Your energy should be working smarter, not harder. At CERAWeek, Brad Bentley, EVP and President of Consumer, and Scott Hart, SVP and Head of Business Sales, shared how demand response and virtual power plants (VPPs) are transforming the way we support the grid. During winter storm Fern in January, as many as 127,000 customers participated in our VPP program, enabling us to reduce electricity use in Texas by 1.7GWh. The result: grid relief and money back to customers in the form of savings. #CERAWeek #CWAgora #NRGatCERAWeek
