Why Islay

Ensured Redundancy, Guaranteed Delivery, Maximized Value

Our VPP uses Transactive Energy which enhances grid operations by coordinating flexible assets, resulting in lower peak loads, energy prices, and infrastructure needs. This not only reduces utility bills for customers but also saves billions of dollars annually.  

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) involves pooling together a network of small energy-producing or storage devices, such as solar panels and batteries, to serve the electricity grid. This approach balances electricity demand on the grid, shifting it to meet peak demands without relying on conventional power plants. 

The Base Islay Business concept

The power of Transactive Energy

That lowers customers' utility bills and saves the nation billions of dollars every year.

Leading to a reduction in peak loads, energy prices and required infrastructure.

Transactive Energy coordinates flexible assets to improve grid operations.
