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 systems are bought too often before it is clear what they 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.

The flexibilization of electricity consumption is becoming increasingly important in industry. Companies are faced with the challenge of rising electricity prices and fluctuating energy generation and grid utilization. Flexible electricity consumption can help to reduce costs and operate more sustainably. But what does this mean in concrete terms?

How will electricity prices on the exchange develop in the future? A recent study shows how renewable energy, rising gas and CO₂ prices and the nuclear phase-out are shaping the market. In this article, you can read about the challenges and opportunities this presents to industry.

The importance of energy efficiency for companies is constantly growing. Both environmental responsibility and cost savings have a decisive influence on the competitiveness of companies. In this article, we take a closer look at the most important facts of energy efficiency and show how companies can improve it.

Saving energy is becoming increasingly important for companies — not only for ecological, but also for economic reasons. In this blog article, we will show you why it is worthwhile to reduce energy consumption, what measures you can take and how an energy management system can help.

The German BAFA subsidy is an attractive opportunity for companies to receive financial support for energy-efficient measures. In this article, we answer the most important questions about BAFA Module 3 subsidy so that you can make the most of the funding opportunities.

The German Federal Grid Agency is planning to adjust the regulations for individual grid charges for industrial customers. As a result of the energy transition, the framework conditions of the energy system are currently changing. The new regulations, which were set out in the recently published key point paper on Section 19 (2), should take this into account.

At the end of June, there were horrendous electricity prices on the spot market due to a technical error. This got expensive for some industrial companies — our customers were protected by intelligent energy management.

There are many reasons why companies are looking for innovative energy management. Based on the experiences and feedback from our customers, we have summarized the three biggest challenges.

The recently adopted solar package in Germany has brought negative electricity prices back into the public eye. We explain how they arise, what problems are associated with them and how companies benefit from negative electricity prices.

At the beginning of April, various media reported on the electricity shortage in Oranienburg, the causes and the reaction of energy suppliers. As such cases could occur more frequently in the future, we look at possible solutions in the following article.

At the beginning of 2024, we secured 2.7 million euros in seed funding for our AI-based energy management solution. Find out why energy management is so important right now and who has invested in our technology.
