Teho co-founders David and Jonathan Green reckon they can solve a big grid problem – there are not enough virtual power plants to help balance supply and demand.
David Green, the 34-year-old co-founder of fast-growing solar and battery start-up Teho, reckons he has an answer to a big problem that the Australian Energy Market Operator says is thwarting the clean energy transition and increasing the risk of blackouts.
AEMO said in August that virtual power plants – where a retailer manages the solar panels, batteries, electric vehicle chargers and other energy-hungry appliances to support the grid, reduce the risk of blackouts, and save or even make money for customers – have not grown as it had hoped.
