Electricity demand response solution available for EG EnerKey’s customers – cooperation with Fusebox announced
Estonian startup Fusebox and EG EnerKey have entered into a partnership to offer EG EnerKey´s customers a solution for electricity demand response. The fully automated solution saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions and helps companies contribute to a greener, more sustainable environment.
The Fusebox Virtual Power Plant is solving the global problem of balancing the electricity supply and demand in the electricity system. Demand response is a change in the power consumption to better match the demand with the supply. Flexible demand is cheaper and cleaner for society, compared to fossil fuel generators.
When energy consumption increases and exceeds electricity supply, instead of generating more electricity, often with fossil fuels, the solution reduces consumption with the help of electricity consumers, connected with the Fusebox platform. Accordingly, when excessive energy is available, consumption can be increased.
With Fusebox, participation in electricity demand response has never been easier. The platform connects smart buildings with energy markets. The Fusebox solution uses the electrical inertia of the buildings to generate revenue for the building owners while not affecting their core business. Fusebox trades inertia-based electrical flexibility to the energy markets that pay for the flexibility.
Tarvo Õng, the CEO of Fusebox, says that they are delighted to partner with EG EnerKey for this sustainability solution: “EG EnerKey is the perfect opportunity to introduce our demand response service to a range of new organisations. The customers of EG EnerKey have high environmental awareness and a will to run their buildings sustainably, considering the costs at the same time. With EG EnerKey we can deliver our services to real-estate owners that currently qualify best to participate in offering balancing services to Fingrid. Connecting to the Fusebox platform is the easiest solution for such consumers to reduce costs and earn new revenue while also making the electricity grid more efficient and carbon neutral.”
“We are always searching for new ways of providing increasing value to our customers. Cooperation with Fusebox is a big step for us, as it opens the door for EG EnerKey´s customers to Fusebox´s demand response solutions, which leads to new possibilities of generating monetary and emission savings. As a part of our intelligence feature Ines, the electricity demand response use case also broadens our capabilities to use artificial intelligence and machine learning on a larger scale,” comments Iiro Kuntsi, Senior Manager, EG EnerKey´s Product Development.
The Fusebox Virtual Power Plant solution will be available for EG EnerKey’s customers in early 2022.
