Virtual Power Plant & Microgrid.

Talk about VPP

Municipalities and utilities need to optimise distributed generation, trade surplus power and pursue net-zero targets without fragmenting operations across solar, storage and the grid. Integrate solar, storage, wind, hydro and EV charging through one platform — then trade surplus power and verify green energy.

Aggregate distributed resources as one plant.

Comprehensive management of solar PV assets

Dedicated metering for distributed generation

Surplus power trading frameworks

Tracking and verification of green energy

Monitoring and reduction of GHG emissions

Microgrids combining solar PV, ESS and grid management

How it works

01

A centralised software platform aggregates DERs — solar PV, battery ESS, wind, hydropower and EV charging.

02

Operators optimise generation, store surplus and participate in energy-trade policy.

03

Separate AMI for distributed generation keeps settlement and sustainability guarantees auditable.

46.3% global VPP market CAGR — a high-growth opportunity for municipalities investing in energy independence. This is industry context, not a Joule performance KPI.
