Your Home Is Being Overcharged for Electricity
AI data centers, population growth, and rising ONCOR delivery charges are driving up your electricity costs. The Texas Grid Sustainability Project places production and storage equipment at qualifying homes — at no cost to you.
The Problem
Stop Overpaying for Electricity
Three forces are driving up electricity costs for ONCOR customers in the DFW corridor — and homeowners are absorbing the cost through rising delivery charges on every bill.
0.57 GW
AI Data Center Demand
added to the ERCOT grid in 2025 alone — concentrated in the DFW corridor. ONCOR customers pay for infrastructure upgrades through delivery charges.
0.32M+
DFW Population Growth
new residents projected by 2030. Every new home and business adds demand to an already strained grid — and existing homeowners absorb the cost.
1.14%
ONCOR Delivery Increases
delivery charge increase filed for Q2 2026. This is separate from your electricity plan — it's a grid infrastructure cost that every ONCOR customer pays.
If solar left you disappointed — this is your better option.
Understanding VPP
This Is Not Solar. This Is a Grid Reliability Program.
In August 2023, the Public Utility Commission of Texas authorized Virtual Power Plants to provide dispatchable power to the ERCOT grid for the first time. This is the regulatory foundation for the program.
"This is not you buying or leasing solar panels. This is you buying electricity from equipment that we own, operate, maintain, warranty, and insure — at no cost to you. You simply authorize the use of space on your property."
Connect vs. Interconnect
Traditional (Connect)
One-way power flow. You own the equipment, finance it, and maintain it. The grid is a backup.
VPP (Interconnect)
Two-way power flow. Equipment feeds surplus back to ERCOT during peak demand — that's why funding covers the cost.
Battery-First Approach
Every qualifying home gets battery storage. Production equipment is added only when sun hours support it.
The Process
Three-Stage Evaluation
A straightforward process to determine if your home qualifies for the program.
Identify the Overcharge
We review your electricity bill to calculate your blended rate. If you're paying above $0.14/kWh, you're being overcharged relative to what's available.
Assess VPP Candidacy
We evaluate your home's sun hours, roof orientation, and grid connection to determine the optimal equipment configuration — battery storage first, production if applicable.
Submit for Funding
Qualifying homes are submitted for funding and ONCOR interconnection. Equipment is installed, and your supply rate is permanently lowered to $0.12/kWh.
Program Benefits
The Complete Ownership Chain
Everything is covered. No cost, no financing, no liens on your property.
We Own It
The equipment belongs to us, not you. No purchase, no lease, no financing.
We Operate It
We manage the equipment remotely. It works automatically — you do nothing.
We Maintain It
All maintenance and repairs are our responsibility for the life of the equipment.
We Warranty It
Full warranty coverage. If anything breaks, we replace it at no cost.
We Insure It
The equipment is fully insured. Your homeowner's insurance is unaffected.
Rate Stabilization
Your supply rate is permanently lowered to $0.12/kWh on up to 120% of usage.
