ā€œNew platform for the energy market of the futureā€

innogy

German energy company innogy has teamed up with technology company Kiwigrid to develop a new platform for organising a decentralised power supply system, innogy said in a press release. ā€œCentralised power plants are a thing of the past,ā€ innogy writes, arguing that today’s ā€œmore than 1.3 million large and small renewable energy systems and remote storage unitsā€ required an intelligent control system that optimises supply and consumption. innogy, itself a green energy spin-off of utility RWE, said Kiwigrid’s software allowed for real-time monitoring and control of PV systems, heat pumps, storage units, or e-car charging stations. This allowed customers ā€œto control their energy consumption efficiently and save money by selling self-generated electricityā€.
