    ELECTRICITY produced by distributed energy resources such as solar installations and energy-storage systems in Singapore may soon be coordinated to function like a single power station.

    This will be made possible by the development of a virtual power plant (VPP), which brings about greater flexibility and scalability to the power grid, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
