Virtual power plants
A virtual power plant (VPP) is a decentralised network of home batteries that acts like a physical power plant. By drawing electricity from this decentralised network, the VPP operator becomes a ‘virtual power plant’ that’s capable of aggregating large amounts of power to sell to the grid.
When you join a VPP, you sell your surplus solar power back to the grid in exchange for financial incentives. These can include bill credits, high tariff rates or a cut of profits on electricity sold (depending on your VPP plan).
We’ve gathered the requirements, availability, benefits and costs of major VPP providers into our comparison table, so you can find the best option for your energy needs. We don’t score these products – they are listed alphabetically, not by performance.
