Pioneering Renewergy Virtual Power Plant launched by AceOn
A ground-breaking new green energy system which can cut electricity bills and help slash carbon emissions has been launched by a specialist in renewable technology.
AceOn Energy says its new Renewergy Virtual Power Plant (VPP) can play a major part in helping the UK meet its climate change targets in the next 20 years.
And it says the roll-out of the Renewergy VPP system will also bring cost savings for householders and new revenue streams for councils, social housing providers and developers.
Richard Partington, managing director of Telford-based AceOn Energy, said the launch was a hugely exciting step for the company and offered a real win-win for homeowners and developers.
“We have developed a truly unique, innovative system using the very latest battery storage technology and smart energy management software which allows homes to capture solar energy and then store it in the most efficient and environmentally-friendly way for later use.
“This system not only drives down electricity costs for the homeowner or tenant, but makes the most efficient use possible of renewable energy and also provides a revenue stream when the surplus power is sold back to the National Grid.
“This makes it particularly attractive for local authorities, social housing providers and developers across the country who must meet their own carbon emission targets but also want to generate a return on their capital investment.
“All this in a system which can be both retro-fitted to existing homes and installed in new developments and is small enough to fit in a cupboard under stairs.
“We are convinced that through the Renewergy VPP we can play a really significant part in helping this country achieve its legal obligation to achieve zero net carbon emissions by 2050. That is good news for the environment, good news for the country and good news for householders, landlords and builders too.”
The Renewergy VPP is already being fitted as part of a £1 million project to reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty in Shropshire.
