NEWS: Inside the first ‘bring your own’ VPP program for data centers

Voltus and Cloverleaf Infrastructure are testing a new model where data centers finance VPPs directly, sidestepping traditional market constructs. (Latitude Media)

  • Under the “bring your own capacity” structure, hyperscalers fund VPPs in the regions where they’re building, and Voltus delivers that contracted capacity straight to the utility. 

  • By cutting utilities into bilateral deals, Voltus hopes to overcome hesitancy toward VPPs and expand faster into PJM, MISO, and beyond. The company already has a pipeline of contracts lined up, with first capacity expected online in 2027.
