- Commonwealth Edison will file a virtual power plant framework by the end of 2027, according to a piece by a company vice president.
- The framework will look beyond batteries, per Andrew Plenge, the Illinois utility's vice president of strategy and energy policy, signaling a broader view of customer-sited resources.
Why it matters: The end-of-2027 filing deadline gives Illinois's largest utility a concrete window to define which distributed assets — thermostats, EVs, solar — qualify as a virtual power plant, shaping how customer-sited energy resources earn compensation in the state's grid.
