Solving the power puzzle

Tackling challenges to accelerate our progress to net zero requires lateral thinking.

VPI is a leading power company in the UK and Ireland. Its role in the energy system is to anticipate and tackle challenges that emerge as the energy transition unfolds. Jorge Pikunic, CEO at VPI, runs through the work the organisation is doing.

How do you work towards net zero?
We work with customers, grid owners and operators, and governments to strengthen energy security and grid stability while we transition to net zero. Our portfolio includes reliable thermal power and battery storage across seven sites in the UK and Ireland. We are already one of the largest power generators in the UK and the largest battery storage operator in Ireland. We have three projects under construction and more in development. This includes one of the world’s largest carbon capture projects, which we can start building as soon as next year if we get the greenlight from government this year.
