Virtual Power Plant Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global virtual power plant market size reached US$ 1.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 5.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 25.2% during 2023-2028.

A virtual power plant (VPP) is a decentralized network that aggregates heterogeneous distributed energy resources (DER) capacities to enhance the power generation process. It offers a smooth power supply to generate the electricity from renewable energy sources by amalgamating the energy in the battery for circulation. VPP includes a central control system that processes excessive data regarding current power exchange rates, grid information, and weather forecasts. As a result, they offer various benefits, such as optimized power generation from existing sources, reliability, and reduced carbon footprints.

Virtual Power Plant Market Trends:

The widespread adoption of various renewable energy sources, such as biomass, hydropower, and solar energy, for power generation represents one of the key factors driving the global virtual power plant market growth. The integration of several advanced technologies, such as cloud-based solutions and the Internet of Things (IoT) and the gradual shift from centralized to distributed power generation is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, numerous initiatives undertaken by the governments of various countries for deploying renewable technologies to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on account of the growing environmental consciousness and an enhanced focus on sustainable development are creating a positive outlook for the market. The market is also driven by strategic collaborations between the key players and the increasing investments in the research and development (R&D) activities to introduce upgraded versions of virtual power plants. Other factors, such as the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), upgradation of the existing smart grid infrastructure, and initiatives undertaken for power sector reforms, especially in the emerging economies, are creating a positive outlook for the market further across the globe.
