EpiSensor, a leader in IoT infrastructure for the sustainable energy transition, announces its key role in integrating 2,500 Gogoro battery-swapping stations into Enel X’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in Taiwan. Enel X operates both Taiwan and the world’s largest Demand Response VPP. This groundbreaking project, the first of its kind, utilises Gogoro’s smart batteries and battery swapping stations distributed across Taiwan into Enel X’s VPP to provide capacity similar to the power used by tens of thousands of households, which can significantly boost Taiwan’s renewable energy capabilities.

As a key Enel X technology partner, EpiSensor ensured the seamless participation of Gogoro’s battery-swapping ecosystem in Enel X’s VPP. This collaboration showcases the scale and success of this innovative partnership.

Key Features of EpiSensor’s Technology:
- Sensors on thousands of remote sites monitor power consumption and react to frequency oscillations on the grid within a fraction of a second.
- Accurate data is securely delivered to Enel X’s IoT platform for aggregation and analysis, and in turn, made available to Taiwan’s transmission system operator in real time.
- The technology replaces traditional ‘peaker’ power plants and their associated emissions.


“We are thrilled to be a key technology partner in this pioneering project that is redefining the future of smart energy infrastructure." "Our IoT solutions have supported the participation of Gogoro’s battery-swapping technology into Enel X’s Virtual Power Plant in Taiwan, proving the transformative potential of our technology. This world-first initiative not only enhances grid stability and efficiency but also creates new revenue streams and paves the way for a more sustainable energy future.”

Brendan Carroll, CEO EpiSensor
EpiSensor’s partnership with Enel X exemplifies the company’s commitment to driving innovation in the energy sector through advanced IoT solutions. As the world moves towards a more sustainable and interconnected future, EpiSensor remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge technologies that empower businesses to lead the way in energy transformation.


“EpiSensor’s technology has been instrumental to the success of this project. In particular, the ability to push over-the-air firmware updates to remote sites reliably has enabled us to move quickly and adapt to changing requirements. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a sustainable energy future, enhancing grid stability and supporting the integration of renewable energy resources.”

Rosey Luo, Head of Engineering, Enel X Taiwan
