About

Powernaut.io offers an Open Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform that aggregates decentralized energy resources (DERs)—like PV, BESS, EVs, ..—into a single, manageable energy portfolio for Energy Retailers and Independent Power Producers.

Key Features:

  • Hardware Agnostic: Connects to any asset via manufacturer APIs or onsite gateways, creating a unified "middleware" layer.

  • Real-Time Optimization: Uses AI to forecast energy flexibility, enabling peak shaving and optimized self-consumption.

  • Market Monetization: Automates the trading of flexible energy on wholesale, intraday, and ancillary (TSO/DSO) markets to generate new revenue.

  • Automated Settlement: Integrates with billing systems to manage dynamic contracts and "cashback" incentives for end-users.

The Bottom Line: Powernaut transforms scattered hardware into a professional-grade power plant, allowing energy companies to reduce imbalance costs and monetize grid flexibility.
