Over the past 2.5 years, we've been busy building this innovative system, which controls many different-sized power assets. It allows Eneco to meet the ever-changing demand in the energy landscape head on and helps give Eneco’s customers the piece of mind that they will always have the power they want when they need it. Wesley & Sebastian will take you through the story of the project, from the beginning to where we are now. You'll hear about the problems we faced and the smart ideas we came up with to solve them, for example - designing for resiliency, how we deal with high data throughput, to name a few. Our goal? To use technology and innovation to help make energy sustainable, more reliable and meet our goal of being climate neutral by 2035. This is your chance to learn all about our journey and see what's possible in the future. Let's explore together how our Virtual Power Plant is shaping the way we get electricity. Don't miss out!
