The COPOWER project partners start co-designing a community-based Virtual Power Plant model.
COPOWER
COmmunity based virtual POWER plant
What we do
Our aim is to develop a community-based Virtual Power Plant (cVPP) and a viable business model to support it in 5 communities of Finland, Iceland, Ireland and Faroe Islands. The overall objective is to use transnational cooperation to exploit information technologies to link multiple small energy systems and operate them in coordination like a utility-scale power station to balance electricity demand and production.
