Virtual Power Plants

 Monetize your existing energy assets by participating in grid markets — without changing how your business operates. 

What Is a Virtual Power Plant?

 A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of commercial and industrial facilities that pool their energy assets together. 

 When combined, these distributed assets can operate like a traditional power plant — without building new infrastructure. 

 Grid operators pay VPPs to provide flexibility during periods of high demand or grid stress.
Participation allows businesses to earn revenue from assets they already own.

WHY VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS MATTER NOW

 

  • Extreme weather and electrification are increasing strain on the power grid.
  •  Building new power plants for peak demand is expensive and slow. 

 

  • Grid operators are now prioritizing flexible, distributed capacity.
     
  • Federal policy changes (including FERC Order 2222) allow aggregated DERs to participate directly in energy markets.

  •  VPPs are the fastest, most cost-effective way to add grid capacity. 

How Grid Avec Turns Assets Into a VPP

 

 

  • We aggregate your facility’s energy assets into market-qualified Virtual Power Plants.
     
  • We manage enrollment, market participation, compliance, and reporting.
     
  • Participation is fully automated and operates only within limits you approve.
     
  • We coordinate with grid operators and market programs on your behalf.
     
  • You receive payments or bill credits without operational burden.

HOW YOU EARN REVENUE

 

 

  • Availability payments — paid for being “on call” and ready to support the grid.
     
  • Performance payments — paid when assets respond during grid events.
     
  • Payments are based on market participation, not utility rebates.
     
  • Revenue is paid directly for providing grid services.

OPERATIONS ALWAYS COME FIRST

 

 

  • Assets operate strictly within pre-approved temperature, humidity, and performance limits.
     
  • Your tenants, employees, and customers experience no disruption.
     
  • You maintain full visibility and control over participation.
     
  • You can opt out of events when business conditions require it.
     
  • Optimized operation can reduce peak stress on equipment and extend asset life.

Is a Virtual Power Plant Right for You?

 

Good Fit:

  • Facilities with predictable operations
     
  • Businesses with backup generators or flexible loads
     
  • Manufacturing, data centers, cold storage, water treatment
     
  • Companies with multiple sites
     

Not a Fit:

  • Facilities with zero operational flexibility
     
  • Operations where any interruption is catastrophic
     
  • Businesses looking for “set it and forget it” programs
