Origin Loop AI coordination of distributed energy assets
Origin reported 1,454 MW under orchestration in its AI-based virtual power plant
Problem
Distributed electricity supply and demand needed coordination across separate locations. Shifting consumption could reduce exposure to expensive periods and use more renewable generation.
Approach
Origin Loop used AI to coordinate distributed energy assets. It shifted energy use toward periods with more renewable generation and lower electricity prices. The connected portfolio included customer devices and batteries, alongside demand-response participants.
Results
Takeaway
The disclosed figures measured the scale of the connected portfolio. Origin did not quantify the savings attributable to AI in this disclosure.
