H Energy's Solar OnCare surpasses 5,000 cumulative solar power plant operations.

Renewable energy platform company H Energy announced on the 25th that its solar power plant remote operation and management platform 'Solar On Care' has surpassed 5,000 cumulative operation and management power plants as of 2025.

Solar Oncare manages power plants spread across 19 cities, counties, and districts nationwide, and is also responsible for the operation and management of power plants built through its energy investment platform, Mohat. Regional market share is as follows: Gyeongbuk (25.6%), the Seoul Metropolitan Area (18.1%), Gyeongnam (16.9%), Chungnam (11.7%), Chungbuk (7.8%), and Jeollanam-do (7.5%). The company integrates resources distributed across metropolitan areas into a single platform, operating them as virtual power plants (VPPs).

This type of distributed operational capability is becoming increasingly important in conjunction with the restructuring of the electricity market. The domestic renewable energy market is poised to transition from a production-centric structure to a real-time bidding market where forecasting and control capabilities determine profitability. The semi-central dispatch system, implemented in Honam in March of this year, is a step toward verifying the ability to respond to output control instructions and serves as a precursor to the real-time bidding market that will be introduced in the future.

In the real-time bidding market, imbalance penalties are imposed for power generation forecast errors or shortfalls in bidding volume. Consequently, VPP capabilities, which integrate and manage distributed power generation resources, are emerging as a key competitive advantage for power generation operators.

SolarOnCare operates an integrated system encompassing the entire process of forecasting, monitoring, and control, based on regional weather patterns and power plant operation data accumulated over many years. An AI model analyzes real-time operating data to predict power output patterns and simultaneously controls multiple power plants connected to the platform as a single power source in response to power dispatch instructions from the Korea Power Exchange. Furthermore, real-time monitoring proactively detects signs of equipment failure, managing the risks of reduced operating rates and lost revenue.

H Energy plans to continuously enhance the completeness of its platform and strengthen its position in the VPP market in response to policy changes such as the introduction of the semi-central power generation system and the future real-time bidding market.
