Rockcress Consulting, ResIntel, and Portland State University invite you to the Oregon Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Summer Series — a collaborative learning opportunity designed to build a shared understanding of Virtual Power Plants and explore what they could mean for Oregon.
Across three interactive workshops, participants will hear from national experts, engage with peers from across the energy ecosystem, and explore the opportunities, challenges, and tradeoffs associated with VPPs. Our goal is to create an accessible, balanced space for learning and dialogue, where participants can ask questions, share perspectives, and develop their own informed viewpoints.
Whether you're new to the concept or already working in the field, this series will provide practical information, real-world examples, and opportunities to connect with others interested in Oregon's energy future.
What to Expect
All workshops will be offered in a hybrid format, with options to participate in person in Portland or online. Sessions will be recorded and shared to ensure broad access.
The series is open to everyone interested in learning more about VPPs, including state agencies, utilities, program administrators, aggregators, vendors, contractors, researchers, and community-based organizations.
Sign up below to receive workshop dates, locations, recordings, and supporting materials.
