Breakthrough innovators in energy

Building new models that make the old obsolete

We firmly believe that energy is a universal right and should be accessible to everyone.

Our vision: renewable, affordable energy for every individual, empowering communities and fostering equity.

We transform how we store, generate, and use energy

We integrate digital technology with physical infrastructure. This synergy enables more efficient energy management, from generation and storage to consumption.

Local energy is the undeniable future: it's cheaper, better, and more reliable.

Embracing this new energy reality is not just a choice, but a necessity as we move towards a more sustainable and effective energy system.

The Internet of Energy (IoE)

The IoE bridges digital and physical energy realities. It is designed to facilitate open peer-to-peer exchange of energy between users and their assets. This leads to a decentralized, self-regulating network where energy flows seamlessly. The IoE empowers individuals and communities to generate, store, and use renewable energy efficiently and locally, and leveraging interconnectedness towards a sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem.

Benefit for Balance

Client: City of Rotterdam
Location: Rotterdam
Date: 2023
Description: Data, soft/hardware integration
We developed an algorithm designed to maximize local energy balance and empower prosumers (households and SME's that produce renewable energy) by allowing them to meet most of their energy needs through sustainable local sources. This method prioritizes energy sharing among local devices first, before tapping into broader networks. By applying local-first to energy, the algorithm improves the efficiency of energy transportation and distribution networks. It optimizes the matching of supply and demand and leverages periods of low usage or high production of sustainable energy.
The pilot phase has shown that participating households and businesses can reduce their grid use by up to 45% and be grid independent up to 51% of the time. Households on average can potentially save as much as €500 per year.
WEnnovate

Client: European Commission
Country: Hungary, The Netherlands, Slovakia and Ukraine
Date: 2024
Description: Action-plan
We are developing an EU-level action plan designed to accelerate deep-tech and digital innovation in the energy sector.
WEnnovate is dedicated to driving transformative change in today’s energy landscape.
We recognize the essential connection between the energy and digital sectors and strive for fair, affordable, and decentralized energy systems. Our commitment is to establish a sustainable and equitable energy framework. Together with our partners from Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Netherlands we leverage our strengths to provide socially responsible solutions. We analyze gaps, missing players, and best practices within innovation ecosystems by compiling a detailed overview of entrepreneurs delivering digital and deep tech solutions in these regions.
Our aim is to collaborate on the co-creation and design of long-term action plans that boost the innovation capacity of our economy by integrating digital and deep tech ecosystems.
Deltagrid 2050

Client: Province of South Holland
Country: The Netherlands
Date: 2019
Description: Research by Design
Deltagrid 2050 is a research by design project investigating future energy infrastructure for the South Holland energy system.
It explores the implications of interconnected energy sources—molecules, electrons, and heat—and the transition of millions of energy users into producers.
The project, commissioned by the province of South Holland and the Energy Innovation Board, two perspectives – ultimate freedom in an energy patchwork, ultimate efficiency in an energy mainframe, are related to the digitalization of our energy system: the Internet of Energy. This leads to two entirely different futures for the province of South Holland, with huge systematic differences, as well as economical, societal and institutional challenges.
A synthesis of these perspectives explores how a robust energy infrastructure with room for local initiatives could appear, and where a patchwork or a mainframe approach would be dominant.
IEA Conference

Client: International Energy Agency
Country: France
Date: 2023
Description: Event
End of 2023 Arash Aazami and Max Goijarts were invited to present our approach at the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris with representatives and thought leaders from around the globe on how we can: Bring power to the people, by building the Internet of Energy.

Engaging on the essential architecture, sharing protocols, advanced data solutions and building blocks needed for establishing a global standard and ecosystem that enables access to renewable and affordable energy for all.

Charting the way forward.
