The China market dominated the Asia Pacific Virtual Power Plant Market by country in 2023, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of $1.51 billion by 2031. The Japan market is registering a CAGR of 21.9% during 2024-2031. Additionally, the India market is expected to showcase a CAGR of 23.4% during 2024-2031.
These plants play a significant role in demand response programs, which aim to reduce energy consumption during peak demand periods. VPPs can shift or reduce electricity usage to avoid grid congestion by remotely controlling distributed energy resources and customer loads. This reduces the need for additional power plants to come online during high-demand periods, which is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
The adoption of virtual power plants has been growing steadily, driven by several factors, including advancements in smart grid technologies, increased renewable energy integration, and regulatory incentives supporting green energy initiatives. With the advent of smart grids and advanced communication technologies, managing decentralized energy sources has become more feasible.
The market is expanding rapidly as countries focus on optimizing their energy consumption and integrating renewable energy sources into their grids. Both nations’ rising electricity usage and long-term energy commitments create a strong demand for VPPs to help manage and balance energy resources more efficiently. In 2023, China’s electricity consumption grew by 6.7% year-on-year, indicating robust economic activity and energy demand across primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. Notably, the primary sector saw an 11.5% rise, while the secondary and tertiary sectors experienced increases of 6.5% and 12.2%, respectively. Moreover, India’s commitment to attaining energy independence by 2047 and achieving Net Zero energy consumption by 2070 highlights the country’s ambitious goals for a sustainable energy future. A key part of this vision is the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to promote green hydrogen as a clean alternative to traditional energy sources. As India invests in renewable energy and green hydrogen, the need for efficient energy management systems, like VPPs, becomes even more critical. Therefore, China’s growing electricity consumption and India’s ambitious energy goals point to a significant opportunity for the growth of this market in these countries.
