The Project Explained: A C&I Energy Decarbonation Platform
Unlock your full power – a platform that connects a company’s existing energy assets with flexibility to enable untapped revenues. This project is designed to help companies accelerate their energy transition by conducting energy audits for industries and SMEs, building a long-term decarbonizing action plan, and implementing all relevant solutions for the company. These include solar power plant installations, battery installations, smart and predictive optimization software, and even financing for projects. Accessibility is at the core, with no upfront cost and a revenue-sharing model that offers a tailormade offer, ensuring that every key asset is used to its maximum potential… the beauty of this approach is in its simplicity and holistic design.
Main Benefits & Key Figures
The project brings numerous benefits that resonate with operational efficiency and revenue generation. Some of the compelling facts and key figures include:
- Suboptimal Energy Use: There is, on average, only 37% of a company’s consumption that hourly matches renewable energy production – meaning that energy surplus is either sold too cheaply, or energy is bought at too high a price.
- Unleveraged Assets: Most energy assets remain unsynchronized with solar or wind, nor are they integrated with grid flexibility, leading to huge untapped energy savings and additional revenue streams.
- Volatility Management: With weather conditions and renewables impacting energy pricing daily – more than 400 hours of negative energy prices in 2024 illustrate that there is potential to generate revenue while benefiting from free electricity.
- Decarbonation ROI: A strategy that provides 30% additional savings through Demand Shifting, 10% additional savings via Peak Shaving and Dynamic Load Balancing, and an average of 120 K€ additional yearly revenue per MegaWatt of grid flexibility.
- Other Benefits: 0€ upfront costs, 3× more revenue, and CO2 avoided certification – all designed to support a seamless energy flexibility journey.
Wise Time Machine & Wise.Brain Insights
Thanks to an in-house AI, the project deploys the Wise Time Machine. This clever tool analyzes quarter-hour consumption data so that companies can visualize the revenue that could have been generated over the past 12 months. With Wise.Brain, co-creation of an optimization long-term plan takes place, prioritizing quick win leverages without impacting comfort or operational processes. Imagine having the capability to see what would have happened… and then using that information to shape the future of energy consumption – it’s like having a crystal ball that offers tangible insights.
Additional Assets & Ecosystem Partnership
Along with the powerful analytics provided by Wise Time Machine and Wise.Brain, additional assets come into play. Through the unique selected partners’ ecosystem, valuable advice is provided on how to further improve decarbonation ROI. A no CAPEX financing option ensures that financial barriers are minimized, so companies can focus on the benefits of decarbonation. The already integrated assessment and certifications further showcase the concrete impact on annual ROI, while ESG & CSRD partners certify decarbonation actions to ensure credibility and transparency throughout the process.
Flexible Strategies in Action
The project offers a myriad of energy flexibility strategies that facilitate energy demand shifting, dynamic load balancing, peak shaving, and grid flexibility. By choosing the strategy that best fits operational needs, companies can maintain control over their consumption. For instance, on-site flexibility leads to immediate savings, while additional revenue can be generated without necessarily relying solely on Wise.Brain. The natural integration with a company’s existing infrastructure enables control over operational costs, enhancing overall predictability. It is all about adapting the strategy to match each unique environment… a genuine game changer in the realm of energy management.
Project Impact: Linked SDGs

- SDG 13: Climate Action – by certifying decarbonation efforts to avoid CO2 emissions and manage a sustainable energy future.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – via the 360° decarbonation ecosystem of selected partners who work collectively to optimize energy ROI.
The Future of Energy Flexibility
This decarbonation platform is a testament to how modern technology and collaborative strategies can reshape the energy landscape. With clear strategies in demand shifting, peak shaving, dynamic load balancing, and grid flexibility, companies are empowered to unlock their full power. The solution has already been trusted by leaders in various sectors such as retail, food and beverage, real estate, industry and manufacturing, and agriculture. Through continuous adaptation and a forward-thinking mindset, companies benefit from improved predictability and control over their operational costs. The integration of smart methodologies – alongside lively and engaging strategies that mimic the natural flow of conversation – makes the platform not only a technological marvel but also a practical tool that speaks directly to modern energy needs.
