Creating Energy Communities
The global energy market is being transformed, and with a Karit Virtual Power Plant communities can adapt to take advantage of the impending changes.
Our platform will enable communities of energy users to change the way in which energy is supplied and managed within their community.
Remodelling for a Shifting Global Energy Market
Today technologies, like solar generation and energy storage, have created alternative options for developers of new communities or residents in an existing community to supply and manage the energy needs of the community. These distributed energy resources can be located close to where energy is consumed, with no impact on air quality or health. When combined with Karit’s advances in energy management capability, they become the building blocks for a true community energy solution.
Karit can help your community by
Creating an energy eco-system that benefits the entire community by making members more energy effective, and in some cases enabling the community to become a net exporter of energy
Enabling an energy infrastructure that can be locally owned and locally managed, with positive flow-on effects for local economies, particularly in regional areas that may suffer from poor power quality or unreliable supply
Enabling the creation of sustainable jobs – clean renewable energy solutions generate good, safe jobs
Enabling the community to be created with or evolve to a greener low carbon footprint
Providing an opportunity for returning real economic value to the community and its members
Enabling energy trading within your community

A Tailored Solution
Because there is no one size fits all definition of ‘community’, there is no single definition or design of how a community energy project might be realised. Each project is unique but at their heart is Karit’s ability to make energy consumption and generation visible and controllable at both the member and community level.
Let Karit help design your Virtual Power Plant
Karit’s energy services team can assist your organisation in initiating, designing, developing, owning and operating a Virtual Power Plant, enabling your organisation to benefit from the changes sweeping the energy industry.
