Virtual Power Plant (VPP)Batteries, EVs, solar and loads acting as one plant
Hundreds of small, scattered assets, batteries, EVs, swap stations, rooftop solar and flexible loads, are coordinated to act as one dispatchable plant the grid can call on.
A virtual power plant (VPP) is software that coordinates many distributed energy resources, such as batteries, EVs, rooftop solar and flexible loads, so that together they behave like one power plant. The grid sends one signal; the VPP splits it across the assets, each within its owner's limits.
Virtual power plant (VPP), step by step
- 1
Connect the assets
Batteries, chargers, swap stations, solar and loads each report through their own controller.
- 2
Know what each can do
How much each asset can shift, for how long, and at what cost to its health.
- 3
One signal in
The DISCOM or market asks for a block of power or a frequency response.
- 4
Split and deliver
The VPP shares the request across assets and verifies what each delivered.
What the Ingro OS does
The same hardware-agnostic layer that runs Ingro EMS sits between the grid and every battery.
Any asset, any make
Hardware-agnostic integration through the same layer as Ingro EMS.
Fast response
Batteries answer frequency and ramp signals in seconds.
Health-aware dispatch
Each battery is worked within its warranty and health limits.
Market-ready
Built for the data, metering and settlement that energy markets require.

Ingro and ISGF sign an MOU for one V2G operating system
Ingro will build a unified V2G operating system for DISCOMs and OEMs, bringing together what the charging and swapping pilots learned.
What each side gets
DISCOMs and grid operators
Peak shaving, frequency and voltage support from assets already connected.
Asset owners
A share of grid value without managing market bids themselves.
Aggregators
One platform to enrol, dispatch and settle mixed assets.

May 2026India Energy Stack: A Live P2P Power Trade on Stage
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, a farmer in Uttar Pradesh sold surplus solar power to a shop in Delhi — live, on stage, powered by the India Energy Stack. The moment India's demand-side energy market moved from policy ambition to working reality.
Apr 202690 Seconds to Dark: What Iberia's Blackout Taught About Voltage Control
On 28 April 2025, Spain and Portugal went dark in 90 seconds — not because there was too little power, but because the grid had supply and zero voltage control left. 15 GW vanished in 5 seconds. 50 million people lost power.
Jul 2026India's Grid Hit 50% Non-Fossil Generation. Briefly.
On 6 July 2026, non-fossil sources supplied 50% of India's electricity for a brief midday window as demand hit 221 GW. Installed non-fossil capacity already exceeds half the fleet, but average annual generation share sits closer to a quarter — and that gap is the real story of this decade.
Virtual power plant (VPP): common questions
3 questions
Peak shaving, frequency response, ramp support and deferring feeder or transformer upgrades, using assets that are already installed.
Cloud energy storage pools batteries only. A VPP coordinates batteries together with EVs, solar and flexible loads.
Batteries of any make, EV chargers, swap stations, rooftop solar with storage and flexible loads such as pumps or chillers.

Other ways the network uses storage
- Cloud energy storageMany customers' batteries, dispatched as one store
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)Parked EVs give power back at the evening peak
- Vehicle-to-home (V2H)The car in the driveway doubles as the home battery
- Battery swapping to gridSpare packs in swap stations support the grid at peak
- Open accessStored green power delivered when the factory needs it
