Short Facts Flexa is building Europe's largest residential virtual power plant - and we're doing it fast. In under two years we've connected tens of thousands of homes and crossed 500 MW of controllable capacity, making us already Germany's largest residential VPP. We dispatch EVs, batteries and solar across a growing fleet, trading flexibility on real-time energy markets and creating unparalleled value for our customers.
