The project for aggregation of renewables, which was supported by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, produced initial results within the pilot period of two months. The consortium – under the leadership of Next Kraftwerke Toshiba Corporation (TNK) and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) – was able to report positive developments with regard to reducing imbalances and increasing economic efficiency of the renewable energy plants involved.

As operator of one of the largest Virtual Power Plants in Europe, Next Kraftwerke reached a new milestone in April 2022. The company passed the 10,000 megawatt mark for aggregated generation capacity. Plants from the entire range of renewables are part of this network of power plants. 

The Cleantech Group announced the award of Next Kraftwerke as "Graduate of the year" in San Francisco. The 86-member expert panel rated Shell's acquisition of Next Kraftwerke as outstanding in the field of M&A.
