Modern energy management software must not only make energy flows visible, but actively control them. The article outlines which features are essential today, how automated control enables savings from day one, and which solution is particularly well suited to mid-sized companies.

Rising energy prices and increasing market volatility are making electricity cost optimisation a key economic lever for many companies. Learn how flexible tariffs, dynamic grid fees, and targeted load management can help reduce energy costs sustainably.

Rising price fluctuations are a reality and will continue to increase. For industrial companies, they open up opportunities: those who react flexibly reduce costs and gain a competitive advantage.

More and more companies are planning to invest in battery storage systems. Whether to cut peak loads, optimize self-consumption or as part of a multi-use approach: Expectations are high. But storage is bought too often before it is clear what it can really do in a specific application. A well-founded battery simulation can prevent just that.

FlexPower and encentive enable companies to automatically optimize their electricity consumption on the intraday electricity market for the first time.

The 2025 coalition agreement brings new drive to energy policy. The new federal government (CDU, CSU, SPD) is committed to climate neutrality by 2045 — with specific goals for more renewable energy, digitalization and, above all, more flexibility in the energy system. For industrial companies, this means that energy optimization is becoming a strategic success factor.

In a changing energy system, the ability to store and control energy is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage - especially for industrial companies. But this does not always require classic battery storage systems. Companies can store electricity without batteries - by intelligently utilizing existing systems and processes.
