Plug into the Future: The SEC joins DAME’s VPP

As Victoria ramps up its energy transition, Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are emerging as critical tools to stabilise the grid, integrate renewables, and empower energy users. Partnering with the newly revitalised State Electricity Commission (SEC) offers a unique opportunity to test and scale VPP technology in a real-world environment—with government backing. The SEC brings not only capital and policy alignment but also access to networks, regulators, and communities. A pilot under their umbrella can de-risk innovation, fast-track deployment, and deliver valuable data and learnings to guide broader rollout.

Beyond technical validation, running a VPP pilot with the SEC sends a clear message: your project is part of Victoria’s clean energy future. It offers a platform to demonstrate bill savings, grid benefits, and local job creation—all while helping shape state policy and future incentive schemes. Whether you’re an aggregator, developer, or technology provider, the SEC is not just a funder—it’s a partner with a mandate to scale what works. This is a chance to prove your model and lead the charge into a more decentralised, resilient energy system.
