SunPower said that it recently executed on its plan toward becoming an "energy services provider" when it was selected to deliver close to 11 megawatts (MW) of direct current (DC) solar power in New England as a result of the region's 14th Forward Capacity Auction (FCA 14).

"By aggregating its residential portfolio as a virtual power plant to participate in the auction, SunPower was able to offer localized, renewable capacity at lower prices," the company said

Working with its best-in-class dealer network, SunPower will sell and install approximately 1,375 home solar solutions in New England to fulfill its capacity obligations.

CPower Energy Management partnered with SunPower in this ISO New England bid, SunPower said

Tom Werner, SunPower CEO said, "We look forward to exploring future virtual power plant opportunities with our complete Equinox home solar-plus-storage system, as SunPower expands energy services in the North American residential market."
