Event Overview
As virtual power plants (VPPs) become more integrated with distributed energy resource management systems (DERMs), markets for this technology are rapidly emerging across the globe. The key to this evolution is innovative software platforms used to manage and aggregate a wide array of distributed energy resource assets, optimizing when and how these consume or store energy to balance the grid. This not only lowers the overall cost of energy but facilitates the smooth integration of non-fossil fuel sources.
 
Bud Vos, President and CEO of Enbala, an industry leader in the VPP and DERM solution marketplace, will join us for an informative discussion on both the global VPP market and the unique challenges and opportunities within the region. Drawing on his more than 17 years of energy industry experience, Vos will also address common market drivers and the various nuances encouraging the adoption of VPPs and DERMs.
 
For those interested in the energy and sustainability industries—and how other markets have evolved globally—this event is not to be missed!
