Household affordability
Potential bill savings, access to low-cost technology and support for households in vulnerable situations.
Social value and community legacy
Impact
See how SocialVPP can create measurable benefits for households and communities, and how infrastructure companies can support lasting local social value.
Our impact approach
Value created locally. Benefits shared fairly.
SocialVPP aims to make flexibility work for people as well as the electricity system. We design social outcomes into projects from the start and seek to measure them transparently.
⚡
Cleaner, more flexible energy
Make better use of distributed assets and help manage local electricity demand and network constraints.
⌂
Community legacy
Reinvest a share of eligible value into community priorities, local capacity and longer-term energy resilience.
Social value for infrastructure companies
Leave a legacy beyond the project boundary.
Developers, contractors, utilities and infrastructure owners can support place-based SocialVPP programmes as part of a wider community benefit or social value strategy. Opportunities range from funding household participation to investing in shared community energy assets and local skills.
Potential partners include electricity network operators, renewable energy developers, data
centre developers, major construction programmes and other infrastructure businesses.
Social value delivery options
Community energy assets support batteries and flexible technology in local buildings.
Household inclusion help people access technology, advice and participation.
Local funds co-design community benefit and reinvestment mechanisms.
Skills and engagement support local capability, training and community delivery partners.
Measurement
Outcomes that can be evidenced.
Project reporting can be designed around the agreed baseline and delivery model, rather than claiming benefits before they have been measured.
People
Households reached, inclusion and accessibility, bill outcomes and support delivered.
Places
Community assets supported, local funds generated, partners engaged and skills developed.
System
Connected flexible capacity, response events, network contribution and estimated carbon effects where robustly measurable.
Make your infrastructure investment count locally.
Let's design a measurable social value programme that leaves a lasting community legacy.
