What is a Virtual Power Plant?

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network that connects thousands of home solar and battery systems. Instead of relying on traditional power stations, it draws stored energy from homes to support the electricity grid when it’s needed most. 

It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to manage energy across Australia and a powerful way to get more from your battery. 

How Do VPPs Work?

When you join a VPP, your battery becomes part of a smart system that responds to real-time energy needs. It charges when solar is abundant and discharges during peak demand to help balance the grid. 

Your home stays powered, and you get paid for the energy you share. Everything runs automatically in the background, with no extra effort on your part.
