The business model
What a Virtual Power Plant is, and how it pays you.
A Virtual Power Plant is many small energy sites working together like one power station. GridLynQ builds it from the marinas, RV parks, boat storage yards and waterfront properties that already sell power at the pedestal.
1. Your site stays the same
Boaters, guests and tenants plug into the pedestals they already use. Nothing changes for them.
2. A battery block goes on site
GridLynQ installs, owns, maintains and replaces a prefab battery block under a long-term site lease. The host puts in no capital.
3. It works for the site first
The block charges when power is cheap and covers the site's busiest hours, cutting the peak part of the electricity bill.
4. Many sites act as one plant
Blocks across the network are grouped and offered to the utility and grid operator as a single, dispatchable resource.
5. The host shares the income
Grid income and savings are tracked per site. The host receives a monthly statement and payout under their lease terms.
Where the value comes from
Peak reduction
Lower demand charges on the site's own bill.
Grid services
Payments for being ready to supply or absorb power when the grid calls.
Energy shifting
Buying low, supplying at high-price hours.
Resilience
Backup for key loads during outages, where designed for it.
Which streams apply depends on the site's utility, market and design. Each site is assessed before any lease is signed.
Who carries what
GridLynQ
Pays for, owns, insures, maintains and replaces the battery block. Handles utility work and grid enrolment. Carries battery performance for the life of the lease.
The host
Provides the space and electrical access under a 20-year lease with renewal options. Keeps running the site as normal and receives a share of the income.
Why the first sites matter
GridLynQ signs host leases first, then brings the utility a ready-made block of sites. The first ten sites in each category become Founding Hosts, with better terms that close when that round fills.
This page explains the model in general terms. Rates, revenue-share percentages and site estimates are shared privately after a site assessment. Figures in films and demos are illustrative, not engineered. Grid-service income depends on utility and market rules.
