Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

[SoundDaTrumpet]

Wow, I suspect I am in… 7 days to jump from ELRP to DSGS! My VPP screen shows 2824 Fleet Homes participating and clicking the Program Facts both suggest I am switched over.

Do newcomers have to wait until June to start receiving VPP-DSGS events? Did anyone get any May events?

I also got in the DSGS with a very short wait just about a week.

I did not hear about any events in May this year.

The original ELRP program was mostly Aug.ust and September, but there were also non-CASIO alert test events in June and July. When I went through the original program information, in pretty sure that there was a commitment of at least one event in each month. I'll need to find the specifics.

I see the language as well that there is to be one event per month, and no more than 35 per year.

Participation
Once you are enrolled in the program, Tesla will call upon the Virtual Power Plant when wholesale electricity prices exceed $200/MWh. When these events occur, your Powerwall will dispatch energy back to the grid. You can expect events to occur between May and October, from 4 PM to 9 PM. Events will be no longer than two hours. There will be at least one event per month with no more than 35 events each summer.

Looks like I confused the ELRP maximum of 60 hours with the DSGS maximum of 70 hours.

Even though the form took my email, I got no notification that they'd even received the request. I'm tempted to submit it again, but with my luck, the first request will go through, I'll enroll in the new program, and then the second request will go through which will kick me out of that.

I submitted the form about a week ago to be removed from the virtual power plan program (forgot to note the exact date) and saw availability to sign up for virtual power plant today.

I had sent in the form to disconnect from DSGS and I was able to sign up for ELRP. Now I am enrolled with both and the app lets me toggle them on and off. Right now both are set on. It could get interesting.

I went ahead and submitted it again.

I did not get any email confirmation either. Curious to hear if you got an email after 2nd submission of the form

This thread is about the Virtual Power Plant program, and those only happen when the grid is up.

Not sure what you are trying to communicate here.

I think I'd use the term participant rather than subscriber. But yes, this is for VPP, not what our power walls do when the power goes out.
