A virtual power plant is a network of distributed energy resources, flexible loads, battery storage and generation assets that are aggregated and dispatched as a single resource to support grid reliability and capture electricity market revenue. Instead of each asset operating independently, they are coordinated together to respond to grid signals, market programs and dispatch instructions.
Rodan has been operating virtual power plants since 2003. We just never called it that.
Rodan’s VPP is designed for C&I energy users, power producers, asset owners, utilities and developers who want to turn distributed energy assets and flexible loads into a coordinated, revenue-generating resource.
You get a fully managed virtual power plant backed by Rodan’s ROC, in-house engineering, registered metering infrastructure and market expertise across IESO, AESO, PJM, NYISO and MISO.
Rodan handles enrollment, dispatch, optimization and settlement so your assets perform without requiring an internal operations team.
Portfolio metrics are aggregated. Results vary by site.
Most VPP providers aggregate your load. Rodan operates the full asset stack.
Rodan aggregates and dispatches flexible industrial loads, battery energy storage systems, natural gas generation, solar, hybrid portfolios and grid-scale assets. Not just load curtailment.
Rodan optimizes assets in both behind-the-meter and front-of-meter (grid-scale) configurations depending on your operational objectives and market participation strategy.
Rodan is a registered Metering Service Provider with IESO, AESO and NYISO. We design, install and maintain the revenue-grade metering required for market participation.
From grid interconnection through protection and control, Rodan engineers connect your assets to the grid correctly. Rodan has been delivering power systems engineering since 1999.
Rodan's Real-time Operations Center monitors grid signals and executes dispatch instructions around the clock so your assets respond within required market windows.
Rodan connects dispatch performance to settlement outcomes through SettlementIQ™ so you can verify that market participation translates into accurate payments.
One partner from feasibility through to long-term asset performance. Decision, execution and verification under one roof.
Earn capacity and performance payments by reducing electricity demand during grid events across IESO, AESO, PJM, NYISO and MISO programs.
Discharge battery storage when electricity prices are high, charge when prices are low, and participate in frequency regulation and operating reserves programs.
Reduce demand charges and Global Adjustment exposure while stacking revenue across multiple programs simultaneously to maximize total asset returns.
Rodan has been operating virtual power plants since 2003. The scale and infrastructure are already in place.
