CPower VPP Platform and CPower Connect

CPower operates a virtual power plant platform that pays commercial and industrial customers for demand response and energy flexibility. Its website lists an address at 1001 Fleet Street, Baltimore, Maryland. NRG Energy acquired CPower from LS Power, and the two companies now run a combined C&I VPP platform.

The offering includes the Virtual Power Plant Platform, the CPower Connect Platform for grid-connected assets and an online revenue estimator. Sectors served include data centres, public sector, education, healthcare, retail, commercial real estate, industrial and distributed energy projects. Case studies cover RMR Group, Ameresco at Fort Detrick and Houston Independent School District.

• Virtual Power Plant Platform: demand response and flexibility programme for C&I sites.
• CPower Connect: platform for grid-connected assets.
• Estimate My Revenue: online tool that estimates earnings from participation.
• Distributed energy projects: enrolment of on-site generation and storage.
• Technology partner programme: integrations with device and software partners.
• Resources: case studies, white papers, webinars and security information.

Large factories and data centres in Vietnam studying demand-response income from backup generators. Industrial park operators planning an aggregated flexibility programme. Energy service companies packaging solar and storage projects with grid-service revenue.

Lets commercial and industrial sites earn payments for reducing load when the grid needs it. An online estimator gives a revenue estimate before enrolment. Customer terms remained unchanged after the NRG acquisition. Technology partners can connect distributed energy projects to the platform.

Large commercial customers and data centres are increasingly paid for flexibility as grid capacity tightens. Vietnam's industrial zones and data-centre campuses face similar capacity pressure, so US C&I VPP programmes offer a reference model for future local aggregators.

Address on the website: 1001 Fleet Street, Suite 400, Baltimore, MD 21202. NRG Energy completed the acquisition of CPower together with a generation portfolio from LS Power, announced in an NRG filing dated 30 January 2026; the website says business continues as usual for customers and partners.
