Enpal and Entrix have worked together to build Europe’s largest VPP. Enpal has a majority stake in their joint venture Flexa, which plans to supply several gigawatts of power in the coming years. The companies did not disclose specific details on the timeline, scope of operations or number of interconnected systems.
Entrix brings its AI-based electricity trading platform to manage electricity output and grid interactions, while Enpal offers a comprehensive network of decentralized solar systems, energy storage solutions, heat pumps, wall boxes and expertise in operating VPPs, anchored by its Enpal.One energy management system.
The VPP will oversee generation, storage and consumption in participating households, with surpluses traded on the electricity market to achieve cost savings and income generation. It will also offer network services such as frequency control, voltage maintenance and capacity reserves to further support revenue streams.
Flexa is led by Sébastien Schikora, former head of digital product development for Tesla’s global stationary batteries division, and Vjekoslav Salapic, co-founder and head of product development at GridX, which specializes in VPP technologies.
