This is definitely the most significant technological change in the energy industry. Electricity not only does not cost money, but also makes money by generating electricity. This is Tesla's virtual power plant VPP. In July
2025, the VPP project was officially launched in the UK, with Autopolis energy, and users can get up to 300 pounds a month.
What is VPP? VPP, which stands for Virtual power plant, connects multiple homes equipped with solar and power wall energy storage devices. It
forms a distributed virtual power plant, and can perfectly integrate household energy storage and traditional power grid for unified management. Users can upload surplus electricity to the grid, not only to provide services for the grid, but also to obtain revenue.
That is to say, after installing Tesla's energy storage system and joining VPP, not only do you no longer need to pay for electricity, but the system can also make money for you.
According to the agreement, Powerwall customers will receive $2 compensation for every kWh of electricity delivered to the grid during tight periods, with an estimated benefit of $10-60 per peak period.
Tesla paid up to $9.9 million in subsidies to home energy storage users in 2024. At present, Tesla VPP has landed in America, Australia and the United Kingdom.
