Impact
VPS proprietary technology uses Plug
& Play IoT (Internet of Things) devices
and a Cloud based Big Data analytical
engine, powered by machine learning
techniques and backed by a five
star customer support, to determine
energy saving opportunities and
provide effective demand side
management.
This means that; through its proven
track record and proprietary software
& hardware technology, partnerships
and integrated platform, VPS is able to
provide a unique energy management
system and control services to energy
consumers, as well as virtual power
plants to the operators of distributive
electricity grids.
Virtual Power Solutions (VPS) is a
tech company that provides ESaaS
(Energy Savings as a Service) to all
sectors: industrial and commercial,
SME and domestic.
Aggregating all these savings, VPS
aims to build a very large net of
Virtual Power Plants (VPP) across
Europe, contributing to a low carbon
economy and to balancing the electric
grid.
INVESTMENT PROFILE
With the recent COP21 Convention on Climate Change in Paris bringing together
an unprecedented level of worldwide commitment to carbon reduction, never
has there been a more opportune time to provide customers with ways to act to
reduce consumption.
In the UK, the Demand Side Balancing Reserve (DSBR) programmes instigated
by National Grid are also pushing the agenda for emerging clean-tech demand
response technology at an increasing pace. VPS proprietary technology is
uniquely positioned to provide a platform to customers to leverage both of these
energy-related macro-economic developments to the local user’s benefit.
Awards:
Gartner Cool Vendor award for smart city applications,
recognizing VPS energy management solutions as part
of a building automation system that interactively
audits and displays energy consumption and provides
energy reduction opportunities.

Accomplishments
Use of proceeds
Why are we raising funds?
James Napier, Chief Executive of VPS has stated that: “our mission is to provide energy consumers and their partners
with the ability to see and control their energy consumption in real-time. Allowing them to minimise the consumption
and carbon footprint of their buildings without compromising the day to day operations of these facilities.”
During the next 3 months we intend to further refine our marketing and growth strategy and continue to gain critical
user traction, and attract further funding for development. We plan to organise a larger investment campaign in 3
months to fund further commercial expansion whilst looking to raise Series A funding in 6 to 8 months.
VPS aim to provide energy management services to
all types of buildings and their owners or occupiers.
For Cloogy, all sectors of the housing market (Private,
Public, and Social Housing ) are looking to the cost and
sustainability of their energy costs, as well as home
automation and connected homes. Cloogy absolutely takes
the user on this journey. For Businesses, from the SME
through large I&C customers and Public Buildings such as
Airports, Schools and Hospitals, the drive to new smart
meters will provide energy suppliers with the ability to
provide much more structured tariffs which reflect costs
to supply at the time of demand (Time of Use (ToU) tariffs)
and will only increase all energy consumer’s focus on
demand management.
Target Market
MARKET SCOPE
At the core of our offering is the VPS Integrated Platform (VIP):
Providing Industrial, Commercial and Domestic clients the means
of gaining, real time, Active Demand Management of their energy
consumption, and effectively achieving energy savings using the VPS
ESaaS concept; and
Future proofing their consumption against changes in tariff structures.
For Network Operators:
Creating Virtual Power Plants enabling them to balance their grid with
reduced demand at peak times; and
Localised programmes to manage [Constraint Zones] without the need
for additional Capex.
For Energy Consumers, real-time demand management to:
Minimise – permanently the level of total energy consumption in
conjunction with a range of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s);
Optimise – the time and source of consumption to match changing tariff
structures for grid based sources of generation; and
Monetise – the value in the embedded flexibility of their consumption.
All consumers are now looking at solutions which will: (i) lower
the total amount of consumption; (ii) manage costs associated
with ToU tariffs and associated grid costs, (iii) maximise
benefits from, local, embedded, renewable generation and, (iv)
increasingly encompass energy storage solutions into the overall
energy strategy. For non-domestic, large consumers, ongoing
government legislation, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity
Scheme (ESOS) in the UK as well as the basic principles of the
EU Energy Efficiency Directive will continue to provide penalties
for business who aren’t making significant steps forward in
sustainability.
Market Description
VPS has a deliberate and structured
strategy of developing relationships
with key channel partners. Since
May 2015 VPS has developed
agreements in the UK, with: a
large, fast growing Energy Services
Company (ESCO); a national property
services company and a company
providing energy management as
part of an integrated comms package
to the non-domestic sector. As a
result of these relationships, VPS
has started a trial of Cloogy in social
housing, is currently developing
and installing a trial of Kisense into
a recognised national retailer with
in excess of 1,000 buildings and is
in the final stages of developing a
proposal for a national chain of fitness
centres. In combination, these current
partners already provide VPS with an
estimated pipeline of 2,000 Kisense
sales and in excess of 15,000 Cloogy
sales.
In addition, VPS is currently working
with other potential partners
including: a large scale property
management company for Kisense
to become their energy monitoring
and management platform; a newly
formed Community Energy Company
for VPS to become the exclusive
supplier of energy management
technology; due diligence with one
of the Big 6 UK Energy companies
for VPS technology to be included
in a range of energy schemes they
have or are developing across the UK;
a proposal for a company managing
c15,000 operational assets for some
of the UK’s leading mobile network
operators, and a sales agreement to
target a large national provider of
paid-for TV services in the UK.
Our ongoing strategy is to continue to
work with a targeted number of key
channel partners and to embed VPS’s
technology into their core offerings.
To date, we have successfully built
two API’s to build Kisense as a
seamless part of their existing offer
to their client base. We are currently
supporting these efforts from the
Technology Centre of Excellence
in Portugal, but will, as a priority,
create a mirrored centre in the UK and
establish key account management
for our channel partners.
Reaching the Market
This provides VPS with a wide target market with key priorities being: (i) large scale energy consumers, especially those
with large, complex, dispersed estates; (ii) social housing with a focus on fuel poverty and protecting vulnerable tenants
and (iii) community energy schemes which look to incorporate generation and supply as well as energy management
to it’s members.
VPS has developed its technology over the last decade and we believe that, currently, it stands comparison with any
other system available in the market place. However, in the fast moving market, two factors are key to success; 1.
Market Acquisition and 2. Software Development.
Success Against Competitors
The market in both Portugal and the UK is currently
immature, especially in the domestic sector, with no clear
market leaders. Competitors range from small technology
based start ups through established and funded players
right up to large-scale multinational players such as
Siemens, Schneider Electric and Honeywell.
VPS has a clear strategy to both establish itself in
new markets as well as to compete long-term with
all competitors. Key to any software based offering is
market share (in many cases, it’s not necessarily the best
but the most widely adopted solution that often wins).
Secondly the ability to rapidly develop and bring to market
continuous improvement which adds real value to users.
By partnering with established players on an exclusive
basis VPS has access to a large number of existing
customers. In addition, carefully selecting channel partners
in different areas of the market provides VPS with not
only the maximum opportunity to sell to new customers
but also to demonstrate real benefits in a wide range of
market sectors to a wide range of stakeholders. To support
this strategy VPS has 3 KPI’s: 1. Customer Acquisition;
2. Technology Deployment and 3. Megawatts under
Management (the total amount of energy our products
and services control). It is our strategy to develop local
Technology Centres of Excellence to provide focus and
support on each key market.
VPS is backed by a strong team with 20+ years of experience in the development and use of technology in the energy
sector, headed by leading energy software & hardware entrepreneurs and Honeywell’s former General Manager for
their Energy business in the UK.

  • 2. Idea description In the industrial and commercial sector, more than 1000 buildings and 20MW are currently under management by VPS using its proprietary platform Kisense, allowing consumers to save thousands of pounds per year. In the domestic sector, VPS has shipped more than 20,000 units of the beautiful plug and play Cloogy kit, which achieves best in class in the world of home energy management solution in terms of user experience, to countries including the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Portugal. Reported savings in the domestic sector sometimes reach more than 25% of the total consumption. https://youtu.be/O4mxwAl8LXg Impact VPS proprietary technology uses Plug & Play IoT (Internet of Things) devices and a Cloud based Big Data analytical engine, powered by machine learning techniques and backed by a five star customer support, to determine energy saving opportunities and provide effective demand side management. This means that; through its proven track record and proprietary software & hardware technology, partnerships and integrated platform, VPS is able to provide a unique energy management system and control services to energy consumers, as well as virtual power plants to the operators of distributive electricity grids. Virtual Power Solutions (VPS) is a tech company that provides ESaaS (Energy Savings as a Service) to all sectors: industrial and commercial, SME and domestic. Aggregating all these savings, VPS aims to build a very large net of Virtual Power Plants (VPP) across Europe, contributing to a low carbon economy and to balancing the electric grid. INVESTMENT PROFILE With the recent COP21 Convention on Climate Change in Paris bringing together an unprecedented level of worldwide commitment to carbon reduction, never has there been a more opportune time to provide customers with ways to act to reduce consumption. In the UK, the Demand Side Balancing Reserve (DSBR) programmes instigated by National Grid are also pushing the agenda for emerging clean-tech demand response technology at an increasing pace. VPS proprietary technology is uniquely positioned to provide a platform to customers to leverage both of these energy-related macro-economic developments to the local user’s benefit.

Accomplishments Use of proceeds Why are we raising funds? James Napier, Chief Executive of VPS has stated that: “our mission is to provide energy consumers and their partners with the ability to see and control their energy consumption in real-time. Allowing them to minimise the consumption and carbon footprint of their buildings without compromising the day to day operations of these facilities.” During the next 3 months we intend to further refine our marketing and growth strategy and continue to gain critical user traction, and attract further funding for development. We plan to organise a larger investment campaign in 3 months to fund further commercial expansion whilst looking to raise Series A funding in 6 to 8 months.
  • 4. VPS aim to provide energy management services to all types of buildings and their owners or occupiers. For Cloogy, all sectors of the housing market (Private, Public, and Social Housing ) are looking to the cost and sustainability of their energy costs, as well as home automation and connected homes. Cloogy absolutely takes the user on this journey. For Businesses, from the SME through large I&C customers and Public Buildings such as Airports, Schools and Hospitals, the drive to new smart meters will provide energy suppliers with the ability to provide much more structured tariffs which reflect costs to supply at the time of demand (Time of Use (ToU) tariffs) and will only increase all energy consumer’s focus on demand management. Target Market MARKET SCOPE At the core of our offering is the VPS Integrated Platform (VIP): Providing Industrial, Commercial and Domestic clients the means of gaining, real time, Active Demand Management of their energy consumption, and effectively achieving energy savings using the VPS ESaaS concept; and Future proofing their consumption against changes in tariff structures. For Network Operators: Creating Virtual Power Plants enabling them to balance their grid with reduced demand at peak times; and Localised programmes to manage [Constraint Zones] without the need for additional Capex. For Energy Consumers, real-time demand management to: Minimise – permanently the level of total energy consumption in conjunction with a range of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s); Optimise – the time and source of consumption to match changing tariff structures for grid based sources of generation; and Monetise – the value in the embedded flexibility of their consumption.
  • 5. All consumers are now looking at solutions which will: (i) lower the total amount of consumption; (ii) manage costs associated with ToU tariffs and associated grid costs, (iii) maximise benefits from, local, embedded, renewable generation and, (iv) increasingly encompass energy storage solutions into the overall energy strategy. For non-domestic, large consumers, ongoing government legislation, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) in the UK as well as the basic principles of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive will continue to provide penalties for business who aren’t making significant steps forward in sustainability. Market Description VPS has a deliberate and structured strategy of developing relationships with key channel partners. Since May 2015 VPS has developed agreements in the UK, with: a large, fast growing Energy Services Company (ESCO); a national property services company and a company providing energy management as part of an integrated comms package to the non-domestic sector. As a result of these relationships, VPS has started a trial of Cloogy in social housing, is currently developing and installing a trial of Kisense into a recognised national retailer with in excess of 1,000 buildings and is in the final stages of developing a proposal for a national chain of fitness centres. In combination, these current partners already provide VPS with an estimated pipeline of 2,000 Kisense sales and in excess of 15,000 Cloogy sales. In addition, VPS is currently working with other potential partners including: a large scale property management company for Kisense to become their energy monitoring and management platform; a newly formed Community Energy Company for VPS to become the exclusive supplier of energy management technology; due diligence with one of the Big 6 UK Energy companies for VPS technology to be included in a range of energy schemes they have or are developing across the UK; a proposal for a company managing c15,000 operational assets for some of the UK’s leading mobile network operators, and a sales agreement to target a large national provider of paid-for TV services in the UK. Our ongoing strategy is to continue to work with a targeted number of key channel partners and to embed VPS’s technology into their core offerings. To date, we have successfully built two API’s to build Kisense as a seamless part of their existing offer to their client base. We are currently supporting these efforts from the Technology Centre of Excellence in Portugal, but will, as a priority, create a mirrored centre in the UK and establish key account management for our channel partners. Reaching the Market This provides VPS with a wide target market with key priorities being: (i) large scale energy consumers, especially those with large, complex, dispersed estates; (ii) social housing with a focus on fuel poverty and protecting vulnerable tenants and (iii) community energy schemes which look to incorporate generation and supply as well as energy management to it’s members.
  • 6. VPS has developed its technology over the last decade and we believe that, currently, it stands comparison with any other system available in the market place. However, in the fast moving market, two factors are key to success; 1. Market Acquisition and 2. Software Development. Success Against Competitors The market in both Portugal and the UK is currently immature, especially in the domestic sector, with no clear market leaders. Competitors range from small technology based start ups through established and funded players right up to large-scale multinational players such as Siemens, Schneider Electric and Honeywell. VPS has a clear strategy to both establish itself in new markets as well as to compete long-term with all competitors. Key to any software based offering is market share (in many cases, it’s not necessarily the best but the most widely adopted solution that often wins). Secondly the ability to rapidly develop and bring to market continuous improvement which adds real value to users. By partnering with established players on an exclusive basis VPS has access to a large number of existing customers. In addition, carefully selecting channel partners in different areas of the market provides VPS with not only the maximum opportunity to sell to new customers but also to demonstrate real benefits in a wide range of market sectors to a wide range of stakeholders. To support this strategy VPS has 3 KPI’s: 1. Customer Acquisition; 2. Technology Deployment and 3. Megawatts under Management (the total amount of energy our products and services control). It is our strategy to develop local Technology Centres of Excellence to provide focus and support on each key market. VPS is backed by a strong team with 20+ years of experience in the development and use of technology in the energy sector, headed by leading energy software & hardware entrepreneurs and Honeywell’s former General Manager for their Energy business in the UK.
