Key Highlights:
  • In June 2025, in order to help balance the supply and demand for electricity, Tesla intends to expand its virtual power plant business throughout Japan, providing companies with free storage batteries that can be remotely controlled. Tesla established a virtual power plant (VPP) in Miyakojima City, Okinawan prefecture, in 2021. It will expand the business in collaboration with Fuyo General Lease, a leasing company, and Global Engineering, an energy company based in Fukuoka that Fuyo has invested in.
Report Analysis:

Optimum Operation of Virtual Power Plant:

For a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) to function at its best, dispersed energy resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and flexible loads—must be coordinated in real time via a centralized, cloud-based platform. In order to effectively balance supply and demand, VPPs optimize energy production, storage, and consumption using cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and predictive analytics. In addition to optimizing the use of renewable energy sources and enhancing overall system resilience, this guarantees grid stability, lowers operating costs, and permits smooth participation in energy markets.
