Telcos turn to VPPs to unlock revenue
Already one of the most energy-intensive industries, telcos’ energy use and its associated costs continue to rise along with pressure to decarbonize. Virtual power plants (VPPs) are a flexible solution that allow telcos to better integrate renewables while reducing power use and costs.
EIPGRID brings security and flexibility to its virtual power plant technology
VPPs excel at integrating distributed energy resources into power grids. However, they face challenges in securely and transparently aggregating the diverse array of devices available in the market. To address this, VPP provider EIPGRID turned to Intertrust to integrate its XPN? service as a solution.
