Green Mountain Power—also known by the abbreviation GMP—has launched an innovative energy program (a first of its kind, they say) that will benefit Vermont residents and the power grid. Dubbed the 'Frequency Regulation Pilot' program, the idea behind the initiative is to improve energy flow and ensure it has consistent levels throughout.
The innovative energy program relies on residential batteries and "and network them so power at the edge of the grid can then be shared back to the grid operator when needed." This will ensure " a critical function for regional system safety and reliability for customers."
While the Frequency Regulation Pilot program builds on previous innovations introduced by Green Mountain Power, the venture wouldn't have been possible without the brand's collaborators.
