The surge in data center growth is colliding with grid constraints, interconnection bottlenecks, and increasing reliability pressures. Virtual power plants are particularly uniquely positioned to help bridge that gap. 

This webinar will explore how VPPs can support data center load growth, and the critical role that distributed energy resource (DER) providers can play in shaping what comes next.

Leap's Chief Development Officer Andrew Hoffman and special guest Lauren Shwisberg, Principal at RMI, will discuss the commercial models emerging to help meet the needs of data center expansion while creating new value streams for technology providers and driving down costs for consumers. 

We’ll cover: 

  • How VPPs can support data center capacity needs and accelerate development timelines
  • The emerging monetization pathways Leap is developing in this space
  • What these shifts mean for DER providers looking to stay ahead of the market

As developers, utilities, and regulators grapple with how to power the next generation of data infrastructure, flexible DER capacity will become increasingly important. Leap is building the frameworks to ensure our partners are positioned to participate.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation about how data centers and VPPs are converging — and what that means for your business.
