Business models for a digitalised electricity sector: VPPs | Jan Aengenvoort (Next Kraftwerke) - a podcast by Florence School of Regulation

Digital technologies enable accurate monitoring and controlling of all devices connected to the electricity grid and the relative flows of energy. By doing so, they can harness the untapped potential for flexibility hidden in the system, both on the demand and the supply side, offering a solution to the challenges raised by decentralisation and decarbonisation. This is what aggregators and virtual power plants (VPPs) like Next Kraftwerke do. However, technology is only half of the story: favourable market conditions and an adequate regulatory framework are equally essential to get a sustainable business model.
