Haven Energy partners with Clean Power Alliance to expand green energy access and launch a virtual power plant. The partnership aims to install networked energy systems for 300 CPA customers and establish CPA’s first-ever Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Through California's SGIP program, Haven offers free solar and battery systems to eligible homeowners, cutting bills and boosting energy reliability.

Vinnie Campo, Haven Energy’s founder and CEO said, "We're thrilled to partner with Clean Power Alliance in their effort to increase access to reliable, clean energy. Community Choice Aggregators like CPA are uniquely positioned to lead the deployment of distributed energy resources."

He added, "Providing zero-cost solar and battery systems to low-income communities through California's SGIP Residential Solar & Storage Equity Program is a game-changer—it not only delivers clean energy and significant energy bill savings but also ensures these households are better protected against outages and rising energy costs."

Establishing CPA’s First Virtual Power Plant

The partnership will establish CPA’s first virtual power plant, connecting energy devices to balance supply and demand in real time. This VPP will deliver 4.8 MWh of dispatchable power, helping reduce peak energy demand. In three years, it expects to save $380,000 in resource costs, boosting grid resilience and cutting expenses for CPA.

"We’re excited to partner with Clean Power Alliance to deploy over 3 MW of distributed storage assets, a critical step in advancing California’s clean energy goals," said Jeff Chapin, Haven Energy’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer.
