Virtual Power Plant · Texas Homeowners
Join the Power Grid Alliance VPP network — a whole-home battery system at a price that actually makes sense.
No credit check · No obligation · Homeowners qualify
Select Your Utility
Power Grid Alliance serves homeowners across two major Texas utility territories. Select yours to see the program available in your area.
Harris County, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, and surrounding counties served by CenterPoint Energy.
Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, and surrounding counties served by Oncor Electric Delivery.
How It Works
Instead of utilities building only giant power plants, thousands of homes with batteries are connected through software — acting like one giant "virtual" power plant across the region.
Your home battery becomes part of a regional energy network. And the most common concern:
ERCOT detects grid stress — demand is spiking dangerously
VPP signal goes out to thousands of home batteries across the region
Each home discharges a small amount of stored power to the grid
Grid stress eases — no rolling outages, no emergency purchases
Exclusive Member Rate
This is what separates Power Grid Alliance from a generic VPP pitch — a locked-in rate and a flat monthly lease backed by an exclusive utility agreement.
Why Homeowners Join
The program is designed around what matters to you — protection first, savings second.
Lights, fridge, medical devices, internet, and AC stay on when the grid goes down. That peace of mind is the biggest reason homeowners join.
Lock in a 9.5¢/kWh all-in rate and stop worrying about price spikes. Know exactly what your electricity costs — month after month.
No down payment, no installation cost, and your first $20 lease payment isn't due until 30 days after your system is installed.
Less dependence on the grid, more control over your electricity, and protection from rising rates — for the life of the agreement.

The Bigger Picture
The Texas grid faces unique pressures — and your home battery is part of the solution.
Texas's grid operates largely independently — unlike other states, Texas can't easily import emergency power when demand spikes.
Population growth, AI data centers, EV charging, and record-breaking heat are pushing the Texas grid harder every single year.
From 110°F summers to devastating ice storms, Texas homeowners live with grid stress that most of the country never experiences.
Distributed home batteries in neighborhoods are dramatically cheaper and faster to deploy than building new power plants.
