Home batteries are suddenly cheap and everywhere. Here’s why. | TechCrunch

特斯拉因竞争压力推出大幅降价的 Powerwall 租赁计划，使家庭储能成本显著降低。此前安装费用超 10,000 美元的家庭电池，如今在德克萨斯州可按月 35 美元或 19 美元租赁，这得益于电池成本下降及虚拟电厂（VPP）技术的普及。VPP 通过聚合分散的储能资源协调电网运行，帮助公用事业公司在需求高峰时快速响应，其市场规模预计将从目前的 74 亿美元增长至 2033 年的 300 亿美元。相比传统需两至四年建设的调峰电站，VPP 利用家庭电池部署仅需数月即可完成，且 Base Power 已与 CoServ 达成建设 100 兆瓦 VPP 的协议。
