Our virtual power grid connects your energy innovation to the market
In the virtual balancing area we are implementing the next generation of energy transition services from direct supply to V2G, from power-to-heat to GGV – because the future is now.
Our Offer
Metering and balancing service, exactly how and where you need them
-
Digitally integrated
As your custom DSO we are building a digital layer across the grid, bridging the gap to more than 800 physical DSOs.
-
Behind-the-meter
Our virtual meters connect devices where you need it – even behind physical meters.
-
Nationwide
Our virtual power grid covers more than 80% of the map. It grows with each grid connection and each energy innovation that we build together.

We run the first virtual grid
With virtual balancing areas in all four German control areas, we are implementing direct supply for charge point operators and energy suppliers. Our digital metering services offer solutions for mobile energy, heating energy and on-site or community supply models.
What is the virtual grid?
A digital layer across the copper grid
The virtual power grid enables services and billing solutions previously impossible
A catalyst for innovation
The virtual power grid simplifies and accelerates the introduction of new products
The NeoDSO
We are your custom DSO to go. Our digital grid layer offers you a connection to over 800 physical grids based on standard interfaces, creating a single, unified virtual grid.
Why do we need a virtual grid?
- Reduce complexity
- The power grid is a highly fragmented operation, with over 800 different interfaces and strict regulation. Innovation can only be rolled out in lockstep. That is costing us both time and performance. The virtual power grid is a simplification. Services of the complex metering location are implemented in the digital service layer.
- Increase flexibility
- We build standard interfaces to the physical power grid and realise more use cases in the digital grid.
- Implement new energy services
- There is no lack of good ideas: Supply split behind the meter, switch between on-site optimisation and grid services, share renewable generation? Exactly. That is what we are doing.
Is that even real? Yes!
Since 2022, we are building bridges between more than 800 physical DSOs and a single, nationwide, digital infrastructure layer – the virtual power grid. As a neoDSO we are accelerating our grid coverage, currently connecting over 80%.
Going from over 800 DSOs to a single neoDSO – between 2022 and today, we have reached more than 80% coverage.

Our Products
You got the use case – we’ve got the power
The virtual power grid enables countless new energy products and services. Even those, that previously were not possible. For the DSO these might still be the Edge Case – infeasible or too time intensive. For you they are a Use Case – you know what your customers need. For us they are the key cases – available and tailored to your needs. Here are a few of the solutions, we are already implementing:
Stakeholders
Your challenges. Our solutions
Fleet operators
Direct supply is an opportunity: CPOs extend the performance of their infrastructure services and bill these services independent of energy supply. We implement direct supply as a grant or funding criterion or upon customer supply. Our experience is your advantage: We are implementing direct supply in all control areas with diverse partners and in various service and product constellations.

Companies with and without corporate fleets
Within the virtual power grid, individual energy assets can be managed according to your specific requirements. Whether you are combining renewable generation with battery storage, using your own RE generating installations across multiple business locations, or optimising the operation of an electrified vehicle fleet, the virtual grid enables tailored energy management and maximum flexibility.

Employers
Charging infrastructure including direct supply options unlocks new opportunities for occupancy and billing. The same charging point can be used by company vehicles, company cars and employees’ private EVs, with each vehicle charging under its own electricity tariff. No additional installation requirements, no manual reimbursement processes and no administrative complexity. The energy wheeling service can be seamlessly integrated into the charging point operator’s offering.

Energy suppliers
The virtual balancing area is a virtual grid: standardised contracts, standardised processes, and standardised data interfaces. Supplying customers within the virtual grid is as straightforward as operating in an additional physical distribution network area. The opportunities, however, are much more varied and far greater. With direct supply, suppliers not only gain access to customers charging in locations were previously hidden behind individual grid connections, but also benefit from managing a homogeneous and highly flexible load portfolio. The model also enables the development of new integrated energy transition services. Examples include prosuming properties that provide flexibility to the energy system under the MiSpeL framework, as well as households equipped with controllable loads. One digital interface to the distribution grid. Nationwide.

Grid operators
From complex master data models to behind-the-meter supply split: The virtual power grid can bring to life shared energy supply schemes, bidirectional charging and other challenging energy transition services. Complexity is handled in the virtual power grid: A digital grid, connected via a standard grid coupling point. For grid operators, we reduce complexity through standard interfaces and automated data communication.

Municipalities
Today, public charging infrastructure typically ties EV drivers to the electricity tariff of the charging station. As a result, people without access to private parking often pay significantly more for charging and remain hesitant to switch to electric driving. Direct supply ensures a free choice of supplier and tariff at the charging station, enabling a separation between the charging infrastructure service provided by the charge point operator and the procurement of electricity. For the most efficient, accessible and future-proof public charging infrastructure.

Housing companies and real estate owners
Distribution system operators are the key enabler of energy transition services. Yet, currently they are increasingly the bottle neck: innovative solutions for multifamily buildings often remain trapped in complexity: from virtual master meters and collective building supply schemes to curtailment prevention schemes and energy sharing. We offer energy transition solutions designed specifically for your neighbourhood and property portfolio.

Homeowners’ Associations (WEGs) and Property Managers
Shared investments, shared benefits. In homeowners’ associations, joint investment decisions can quickly create value for all participants. We implement shared on-site supply models on your behalf, allowing residents to benefit from shared energy assets while retaining complete freedom of choice for their additional electricity supply. For property managers, we provide reliable and tailored energy allocation services and, if required, also take care of billing and settlement processes.
