The Virtual Power Plant for your BESS

If your BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is standing idle - waiting for a power outage to occur - it is little more than a depreciating asset.  Our Virtual Power Plant has been designed to work with battery energy storage. It connects your asset to the UK's most valuable flexibility markets - whether your priority is revenue, resilience, or sustainability.

For BESS of 1 MW or more (standalone or aggregated) with the ability to export to the grid, Enel handles market access, regulatory complexity, and real-time optimisation. 

Joining our VPP means unlocking the full potential of your assets and accelerating the return on your investment. You stay focused on your core operations. We stay focused on the markets.

 For investors

If de-risking your investment and securing net profitability is the priority, Enel delivers transparent, achievable financial forecasts built on hard data, market insights, and technical rigour. We accelerate ROI by maximising revenue and cost-saving opportunities across the asset’s lifecycle.
 

 For technical teams

When your BESS is installed for operational resilience and business continuity, its primary function can't be compromised. We take a partnership approach that treats your operational needs and the asset's lifetime performance as non-negotiable. Our VPP is designed to create added value, not to add complexity.
 

 For shareholders, employees, and customers

A BESS investment carries high expectations: commercial returns, environmental outcomes, and zero unintended disruption. Our UK team combines market access, regulatory knowledge, and asset optimisation to generate a new income stream, i.e. revenue that can fund further decarbonisation, strengthen your cost base, or deliver better value to your customers.
