Taiwan's First Landmark Book on VPPs "Virtual Power Plants: Comparison of Market-Driven and Government-Led Mechanisms" Now Available

As the global community accelerates toward energy transition and net-zero carbon targets, Taiwan welcomes the publication of its first dedicated volume on Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Published under the Taiwan Alliance for Energy Digital Transformation (TAEDT), this pioneering book provides a comprehensive comparison of VPP models in Germany, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. It explores the strengths and constraints of both market-driven and government-led frameworks, offering critical insights for shaping Taiwan's future energy strategy.

Why This Book Matters

With solar and wind capacity expanding rapidly, Taiwan's power grid is facing unprecedented challenges in stability and resilience. VPPs, as the digital backbone of energy transformation, aggregate distributed energy resources (DERs), demand response (DR), storage systems, and electric vehicles into controllable “virtual assets.” This not only strengthens grid reliability but also enables innovative business models.

What makes this book unique is its systematic approach, weaving together international benchmarking, Taiwan's policy landscape, and strategic recommendations. Key case studies include:

• Germany: Mature energy transition and advanced market architecture.

• United States: Innovation through market-driven practices in California (CAISO).

• Japan: Gradual liberalization and targeted VPP development.

• Taiwan: Taipower's emerging platform and the regulatory limitations ahead.

Endorsements from Policy Leaders

The book features forewords from Minister Kung Ming-Hsin (MOEA) and Minister Peng Chi-Ming (MOENV), both underscoring the central role of VPPs in Taiwan’s energy transformation. Their messages highlight:

• VPPs as a critical enabler of grid security and energy resilience.

• The importance of blending government empowerment with market incentives to fast-track Taiwan's 2050 net-zero transition.

These endorsements elevate the book beyond academic theory, positioning it as a practical reference for policymaking, industry adoption, and investment decision-making.

Who Should Read This Book?

• Energy policymakers seeking actionable lessons from international best practices.

• Industry leaders and investors exploring opportunities in carbon trading, renewable integration, and green finance.

• Researchers and students focusing on digital transformation in energy systems.

• Concerned citizens aiming to understand how energy transition directly impacts everyday life.
