Large-scale solar and wind are vital to the future of our energy network. However if we want to transition to a fully renewable grid, we need to find a way to store the excess energy we get from wind and solar, so we can keep the lights on at night. That means we need batteries, and a lot of them. But how could some of our oldest energy sources be key to unlocking the grid of the future?

Artificial intelligence may sound like an idea from science fiction, but it’s being used every day to unlock new opportunities across our energy grid. Whether it’s smart charging, smart appliances, or even virtual power plants, the electricity grid of the future could deliver new possibilities for the network and our homes.

Have you ever wanted to be part of something bigger? Technology and AI is enabling the creation of virtual power plants (VPPs) that connect your home battery to a network of smart devices, and export your stored renewable energy to the grid when it’s needed. So why would you want to be part of a VPP? How does it work? And what do you need to get in on this new form of energy generation?
