Transition to a sustainable future
Energy
Granularity in the energy transition
Households vary - in their housing type, its ownership, their life stage, socio-economics, attitudes, professional situation and myriad other factors.
The adoption and future penetration of solar panels, home batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps, insulation and other future technologies varies sharply by household - with massive consequences also for gas and electricity demand.
Knowing in granular detail where households are and will evolve towards is essential.
Value migration in the energy of the household
Yesterday, value was simple - mainly margin from gas and electricity contracts.
Tomorrow, commodity volumes can fluctuate wildly as a solar panel or an EV charger can swiftly halve or double commodity consumption - and reinjected energy must be accounted for.
Tomorrow, new value can be gained from the provision of transition technologies - whether one-off from installs or recurrent from subscriptions.
For enterprising energy players, the ongoing value migration opens up major new revenue opportunities beyond the commodity business of yesteryear.
Smart energy as a service
As a home’s supply and demand for energy fluctuates constantly, opportunities emerge to arbitrage and optimize when energy is consumed from where.
This smart orchestration of the household’s energy flows can benefit from dynamic energy contracts and home battery storage solutions.
A compelling, brand new business model emerges to commercialize the energy transition as a service.
