Resilience Investment and Development Programme

VIO Flex GRID is an asset development program being introduced by VIOTAS to the Irish energy market.
Sites which are installing new flexible assets, such as low emissions backup generation systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), electric boilers or heat pumps, can earn market-leading revenues over a 12-year timeframe. The program is specifically intended for new assets being installed before October 2027. Assets can be financed by the customer or alternatively, VIOTAS can provide funded assets to qualifying candidate sites.

VIO Flex GRID helps address one of the key challenges in renewable energy: its natural fluctuations. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are intermittent – they don’t produce power consistently throughout the day. This creates periods where the grid may face shortages if renewable sources are unavailable, leading to reliance on traditional power plants, such as coal or gas, to fill the gap. 

The VIO Flex GRID program enables businesses to adjust their grid demand, not only during peak demand times but also when there is an excess supply of renewable energy on the grid. For instance, during times when wind energy production is high and demand is low, businesses can increase their energy consumption or store excess renewable power using battery systems. This helps prevent grid imbalances, ensuring that the surplus energy is efficiently utilised rather than wasted. This flexibility encourages further adaption of renewables, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable energy infrastructure.
