How Eneco is realizing their vision for a residential VPP offering with Enode
Eneco is one of the Netherlands’ largest energy companies, with a long-standing commitment to the energy transition. Their ambition: build a residential virtual power plant that lets households contribute flexible capacity back to the grid.
Connecting the home energy stack
A virtual power plant only works if the devices inside it are actually reachable. That means EVs, home batteries, heat pumps and solar inverters from dozens of manufacturers, all controllable through one interface. Eneco turned to Enode to handle that layer, which put 1,000+ device models across 100+ brands within reach without a single manufacturer negotiation.
“Enode has been instrumental in helping Eneco accelerate our VPP strategy. Their platform gave us the technical foundation to scale quickly in the residential segment, and their team’s expertise and collaboration have made them a true strategic partner.”
From connectivity to flexibility
With Enode managing the device layer, Eneco’s team could focus on what they’re actually good at: the energy logic, the grid services, and the customer experience. The VPP now aggregates residential devices at scale, dispatching them when the grid needs it most.
