In this highlight from Episode 37 – Monetizing Flexibility: How Flower Turns EV Charging Sites Into Valuable Grid Assets, Flower’s Business Developer My Näslund breaks down the fundamentals of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)—digital platforms that connect and coordinate distributed energy assets to act as one flexible power plant.

She explains how VPPs maintain real-time grid balance, why frequency must stay stable every second, and how flexible loads such as EV charging stations play a growing role in supporting system stability. By integrating diverse assets through one digital layer, VPPs enable faster response, better coordination, and scalable participation in flexibility markets.

This highlight reveals why smart charging and unified load control platforms like FLEXECHARGE HARMON-E are essential for enabling CPOs to contribute to—and benefit from—the VPP ecosystem.
