Distributed energy and virtual power plants

Companies that aggregate rooftop solar, batteries and flexible loads and sell their output or flexibility. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the Clean energy and grid companies schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.

Baseline: Clean energy and grid companies v1
Inherited from: Clean energy and grid companies
Mapped on the schema: 0 of 0 placed here
Primitives: 58 in 8 parts
Last updated: 3 Nov 2026

How automatable each primitive is, estimated from the 0 organizations mapped in public on the Clean energy and grid companies schema, which this industry inherits: the share of those with the primitive that run it on software. Estimate from public data: the share of mapped organizations that run this on software. Not a recommendation.

The rule, the same for every industry: with 5 or more organizations having the primitive, 50% or more of them on software is high, 20% or more medium, below that low. With fewer, the level rests on the primitive's layer alone and says "Layer only". Software parts are counted once per organization; a detected technology is named by its product. See the blueprint for which organizations run each.
