Fox ESS has announced the integration of its battery energy storage systems with Evergen, now part of the Intellihub Group, unlocking participation in one of Australia’s key Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platforms.
The cloud-to-cloud integration allows Fox ESS customers to access Evergen’s Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS), enabling advanced behind-the-meter optimisation, wholesale energy market access, and participation in VPP programs.
The move adds to Fox ESS’s growing list of VPP-compatible systems, further embedding it in Australia’s distributed energy ecosystem.
Evergen’s platform supports a range of distributed energy resources, including inverters, batteries, and electric vehicles.
Its software enables real-time orchestration, trading and optimisation for both utility-scale and behind-the-meter assets.
Intellihub describes its VPP and demand flexibility services as a response to grid instability challenges caused by the proliferation of consumer energy resources (CERs).
Its Demand Flexibility Platform aims to simplify multi-device coordination for VPP operators.
“By combining our network and offerings with their software, we are excited at the prospects of even greater enablement of a more distributed and decentralised energy system in Australia and around the world,” Intellihub said in a statement.
Fox ESS says the integration strengthens its position in the Australian market and “unlocks greater value for clean energy users nationwide”.
The Evergen platform has already underpinned VPP trials with Ausgrid, Powershop, and Economic Development Queensland, demonstrating dispatchable capabilities across mixed DER fleets.
