Virtual Power Plant

The electricity grid in the Netherlands is becoming increasingly congested. Problems arise when the electricity generated in the grid is not in balance with the amount of energy consumed. By creating a Virtual Power Plant, peaks in the electricity network can be absorbed and used at a better time.

A Virtual Power Plant is a collection of decentralized generation installations, consumers and batteries that are controlled from a central point. It is a new energy network that makes smart use of energy supply and demand. A Virtual Power Plant can stabilize the energy and relieve the pressure on the electricity grid. As a result, sustainable energy is used more efficiently, which also means that the use of fossil power stations can be reduced.
