Webinar: Virtual Power Plant Solutions for South Africa

Exploring Virtual Power Plant Solutions for South Africa's Energy Future

EE Business Intelligence hosted a high-impact webinar exploring the transformative potential of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in South Africa’s evolving electricity landscape. VPPs offer an innovative way to aggregate, optimise and dispatch distributed energy resources (DERs) – including large scale BESS; residential, commercial, industrial and mining solar PV and BESS; electric vehicles; and demand market response – as if they were a single utility-scale power plant.

This webinar unpacks the latest technologies and business models enabling VPPs, from large scale and mining BESS, load curtailment at energy-intensive smelters, real-time control of thousands of household geysers; and the coordinated dispatch of residential, commercial, industrial and mining solar-plus-storage systems.

The webinar examines the future role of bi-directional power flows from electric vehicles and how these assets can provide demand response and grid services.Leading experts explore the policy, regulatory and digital infrastructure requirements to unlock the value of VPPs, support grid stability and enhance energy security, including participation with large-scale BESS and demand flexibility in the emerging South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM).
