What is a virtual power plant?
A virtual power plant is a network of energy devices, like rooftop solar, batteries and EVs, that are pooled together to serve the grid. With participants approval the devices can be called on by system operators to share, reduce and store electricity. VPPs are capital and cost-efficient choice for utilities, creating new revenue streams that also benefit consumers, while reducing the overall cost of the electricity system.

VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS POTENTIAL BENEFITS FOR NIGERIA
Nigeria’s electricity demand has surpassed 40 TWh, yet 39% of the population remains without reliable power. As the country seeks sustainable solutions, Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) offer a promising way to stabilize the grid by integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar, wind, and energy storage. A new report, funded by The African Climate Foundation, explores Nigeria’s readiness for VPPs and their potential to transform the energy sector.
