VPP 360 degree coverage
The VPP Value Chain: Why Coverage Matters More Than Technology
Most VPP projects fail at handoffs between layers. Hive Power covers the full chain, from asset monitoring to trading, through FLEXO and partner integrations.
Hive Power and Stationary Batteries
Stack Revenue with Stationary Batteries: The Simple Guide
Discover how stationary battery owners and charge point operators unlock multiple revenue streams by providing demand-side flexibility to energy markets through smart aggregation and value stacking.
Hive Power and Iveco Bus Case Study
Hive Power and Iveco Bus Case Study: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership through FLEXO Smart Charging
A simulation study conducted by Hive Power with IVECO buses demonstrated significant savings through smart charging. FLEXO’s algorithms offer savings of 20 to 50% by optimising recharging flexibility.

The Bankability of BESS
September 22, 2026
A small BESS on a warehouse rooftop makes economic sense. But it's not big enough for a DSO or TSO to buy its flexibility, and too unfamiliar for most project finance. We bring in a battery OEM, a BESS integrator, a C&I developer, and a flexibility aggregator to show how you can still make money. For anyone told the numbers don't stack up.
EVolve Mixer: The Battery to Grid Rooftop Party
November 11, 2026
Battery storage and VPPs are turning energy from a cost centre into a revenue stream. Join Hive Power to explore how to maximise BESS revenues, stack value streams across markets and future-proof your energy strategy. For utilities, asset owners and mobility operators. Panel discussion plus a rooftop networking party over the Prater.
The Energy Dilemma: Putting BESS to Work at Factories & Data Centres
December 1, 2026
Explore how factories and data centres are deploying battery energy storage to cut costs, boost reliability, and meet sustainability targets. This session unpacks real-world use cases and strategies to turn energy challenges into business advantages.
