Are VPPs considered DSM or Energy solutions in the context of IRP modeling?

The Company is working on a program to pilot Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and may use pilot program data to determine its inclusion in future IRP modeling. Information about the pilot program is available here: https://www.dominionenergy.com/vpp.

Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

Does the IRP make any assumptions about a global human population reduction in future years? How would this affect current planning, short term planning, and long term planning?
Will you be modeling data center "flexibility" in how/when they use electricity? How much can this flexibility lower the peak load from data centers and lower transmission and generation needs?
