Flexibility is a crucial component of a sustainable energy system, as it temporarily adjusts power generation and consumption based on its value and the grid’s needs. At Sympower, we provide sophisticated software solutions to facilitate flexibility to stabilise the grid, while rewarding our customers in return.
We unlock the flexibility of electric assets across industries, from steel smelting to solar panels, electric vehicles to paper production, and maximising the value of this flexibility across energy markets. When the grid is out of balance, we temporarily adjust the power of machines and processes through our advanced and automated demand response capabilities.
By providing non-intrusive software solutions, we allow our customers to enhance the value of their electrical assets and empower traditional industries to become more sustainable and enable the shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
Sympower is playing a fundamental role in making electricity markets accessible, flexible and ready for the energy transition. Currently, the regulation is making this very difficult, policy-making is slow and traditional energy companies feel threatened by the business model of independent aggregators. To succeed, we need a coordinated European approach to help independent aggregators like Sympower to be recognized as primary players in energy markets.
