1. A system, comprising:
a behind-the-meter load;
a switching system configured to selectively couple the behind-the-meter load with one or more of a plurality of renewable energy power plants (REPPs) over time, each of the plurality of REPPs comprising a REPP controller and at least one of an energy storage system (ESS) or a renewable energy source (RES); and
a controller in communication with the switching system and the REPP controller of each of the plurality of REPPs, the controller configured to:
receive, from the REPP controller of each of the plurality of REPPs, energy data regarding available energy of the REPP;
determine first energy data received from a first REPP controller of a first REPP of the plurality of REPPs satisfies a condition; and
responsive to the determination, adjust a switching position of the switching system to a first switching position to enable the first REPP to provide energy to the behind-the-meter load.
