Think of the Loop virtual power plant (VPP) as a new, technology-centred energy grid. It uses its smarts to assess when energy is most needed. Then, it coordinates thousands of energy assets to work together like a mini power station to manage supply and demand.
Your home solar battery is one of these assets, and is an important source of renewable energy that’s used to support the wider network.

How does Origin loop work?

  • 1 Excess energy from your solar panels is stored in your battery, powering your home after the sun.
  • 2 From time to time, this energy can also be distributed to the grid in periods of peak demand.
  • 3 Which can then help power other houses and earn you credits on your electricity bill.

The Origin Loop VPP relies on customers, like you, to share their excess battery stored solar energy and reduce load on the grid during periods of peak demand.
