The Europe virtual power plant market is expected to harbor a CAGR of 23.85% during the forecast period, 2024-2032. The major factors propelling the market growth are the investments, policies, and initiatives to propagate the region's electricity generation through renewable energy, and continual technological innovations.
The Europe virtual power plant market growth is assessed by analyzing Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Belgium, and Rest of Europe. Germany stands as the forefront energy-efficient nation for industrial consumers in Europe. In 2016, the country implemented energy-efficient initiatives through the National Action Plan on Energy Efficiency. These initiatives aimed at establishing energy-saving pilot programs, with a primary focus on technologies for waste heat recovery, promotion of sustainable solutions using integrated heat and power systems, offering incentives for enhancing heating system efficacy and initiating pilot programs for consumer energy savings.
Simultaneously, Germany is making significant strides in power generation from renewable energy sources. However, the growing reliance on renewable energy is expected to pose challenges to the stability of the power grid. German grid operators are confronted with the critical task of balancing the interaction between the transmission and distribution grid, especially during peak hours.
Consequently, virtual power plants play a crucial role in grid balancing. Furthermore, these services and solutions aid in aggregating decentralized generation units under a centralized platform. Hence, these factors are foreseen to propel the market growth in the region throughout the forecast years.
Prominent companies operating in the market are, Next Kraftwerke, Open Access Technology International Inc, Flexitricity Limited, Schneider Electric, Statkraft, ABB, etc.
