What is Origin Loop?

Think of the Loop virtual power plant (VPP) as a new, technology-centred energy grid. It uses its smarts to assess when energy is most needed. Then, it coordinates thousands of energy assets to work together like a mini power station to manage supply and demand. Your home solar battery is one of these assets and is an important source of renewable energy that’s used to support the wider network.

Helping stabilise the grid

As the VPP utilises accessible solar energy, it’s helping reduce our reliance on coal power. Moving towards a renewable energy future is better for our communities and planet.
