VPI

VPI is a UK-based power generation business and the power company of Vitol, the global energy and commodities trading house. Headquartered in London at Nova South, 160 Victoria Street, VPI describes itself as "energy people with deep experience, broad expertise and a new approach to tackling energy challenges." Its stated purpose is to tackle the complex problems of providing power today and power tomorrow, operating and evolving the current power system while introducing new sources and emerging technologies. The company positions itself as one of the leading power companies in the UK and Ireland, with a stated capacity of 3.5 GW. Its portfolio combines reliable thermal power, battery storage and carbon capture projects, which together are intended to deliver decarbonised, dispatchable and flexible power generation to meet the needs of millions of homes and businesses. VPI reports eight sites in operation, 624 MW under construction, 9.5 TWh of generation in the last year and 97% availability. Beyond the UK and Ireland, it has multiple sites in development across the UK, Ireland and Germany. VPI's approach is built on what it calls "energy intelligence" — a combination of trading and engineering mindsets, supported by an extensive industry network and the ability to respond quickly. This, the company says, uniquely positions it to identify and solve increasingly complex energy problems. Its activities span providing peaking power, storing electricity, capturing carbon and offering services, with solutions designed to meet the multiple needs of customers and end users. As a Vitol-backed business, VPI benefits from the trading and operational expertise of its parent while operating as a distinct power company. It markets itself under the banner of "Power Solvers," inviting customers to discuss energy projects and recruits to join its team. The company frames its work around the energy transition: it argues that power needs are expected to double by 2050 as transport and heating electrify and economies become increasingly data driven, and that industrial clusters need ways to abate emissions to protect jobs and drive growth. Ensuring energy security while decarbonising is, in VPI's view, vital. VPI's public identity is therefore that of an integrated, transition-focused power company: it optimises existing assets while delivering new energy projects and services, aiming to deliver in the now while keeping an eye on near and far horizons.
