Vast Energy Named Top Virtual Power Plant Operator in Shenzhen for 2025

In July 2025, the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center announced the results of its annual Outstanding Operator Awards, with Haohan Energy selected among the final 10 winning enterprises. Over 60 companies participated in this year’s evaluation, which assessed technical capabilities, operational systems, dispatch responsiveness, and the scale of dispatchable resources. By the end of 2025, the total capacity of dispatchable resources connected to Shenzhen’s Virtual Power Plant Management Platform had increased by 18.5 times compared to the same period of the previous year. Haohan Energy has aggregated 46.7 MW of dispatchable resources in Shenzhen, spanning self-operated and partner charging stations, smart buildings, and other scenarios. Its dispatch system employs a “cloud-edge-device” architecture, integrating intelligent gateways, edge computing nodes, and AI-powered dispatch algorithms to achieve minute-level response and precise control over distributed loads. Throughout 2025, the company successfully executed multiple batches of dispatch instructions from China Southern Power Grid, ranking among the top performers in key metrics such as actual response deviation rate and duration. Haohan Energy is a new energy mobility and energy platform under the Geely ecosystem, with businesses covering charging networks, megawatt ultra-fast charging, energy storage systems, and virtual power plant operations. Its technological approach establishes an integrated “vehicle-charger-cloud-grid” data pipeline. By interfacing charging piles with vehicle BMS communication protocols, it captures real-time battery state-of-charge (SOC), charging power, and other granular data to support high-frequency dispatch strategies. The company’s virtual power plant platform has already been connected to the unified dispatch interface of the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center, enabling remote switching between AGC (Automatic Generation Control) and AVC (Automatic Voltage Control) modes. According to its roadmap, Haohan Energy plans to further expand its pool of dispatchable resources in 2026, with a focus on increasing the integration ratio of user-side energy storage and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) chargers. Additionally, its integrated energy projects in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and other regions are already in the preliminary deployment phase, aiming to replicate Shenzhen’s technical architecture and operational expertise to participate in local demand response and ancillary service market transactions.
