Tesla Japan announced on X the nationwide launch of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), offering free Powerwall installations to eligible participants. A sign-up link is provided on Tesla Japan’s website. A VPP is similar to a conventional power plant in that it provides energy to businesses and homes. It connects many Powerwalls to form a larger power source, stabilizing the grid and supplying power to individual homes or businesses.
What are DERs?
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) combine with Tesla’s advanced software and infrastructure to aggregate energy, ensuring reliable power during blackouts.
Tesla partners with Global Engineering and Fuyo General Lease to deliver this DER aggregation service, potentially supported by Japanese government subsidies through the Long-Term Decarbonization Auction (up to 90% cost coverage for battery storage). This aligns with Elon Musk’s Master Plan 3 for global sustainable energy.
