Fortum Spring - our virtual power plant solution

Fortum Spring is a demand response aggre­gator and operator within Fortum, offering a comprehensive virtual power plant solution. We connect flexible assets and batteries to our platform and provide this harnessed capacity to various energy markets, including ancillary services, via Fortum’s trading system. 

By utilising the already existing assets for balancing services, we can create additional revenue streams for the asset owner and help the increased renewable production to integrate better to our energy system.
