Within Eneco Energy Trading, the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and Trade Tech domains play a vital role. Our VPP, branded Myriad, aggregates and optimizes both large front-of-the-meter assets (wind, solar, batteries, CHP) and thousands of distributed behind-the-meter assets from B2B and B2C portfolios. This platform enables us to unlock flexibility, provide grid services, and deliver value across multiple energy markets, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
