Sunrun Inc. signed three agreements to provide solar power to three community choice aggregators in California's Bay Area.

The partnerships are with East Bay Community Energy, which supplies power to Alameda County; Silicon Valley Clean Energy, which supplies power to Santa Clara County; and Peninsula Clean Energy, which supplies power to San Mateo County.

The agreements will initially provide solar backup power to up to 6,000 households over the next three years in areas vulnerable to emergency power shutoffs during wildfire season, according to a July 30 news release.

The partnerships envision the development of more than 13 MW of home-sited solar resources. These resources can be networked to build virtual power plants that can offset peak power demands on the grid in real time, Sunrun said.
