A battery optimiser tunes one asset. We steer your portfolio.
Tuning each asset on its own caps what your portfolio can earn. Companion.energy steers batteries, on-site generation and process flexibility as one system, against your load, your contracts and the markets.
Our co-founder Jonas can tell you all about it
Single-asset or multi-asset steering
The real value sits in how generation, storage and flex move together. A battery schedule on its own can't see that.
| Aspect | A typical battery optimiser | Companion.energy |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One asset class: the battery | Every flexible asset: batteries, solar, wind, heat pumps, e-boilers, buffers, UPS and EV chargers |
| Decision | A battery schedule on its own | One decision across generation, storage and consumption |
| Value streams | Battery revenues | Day-ahead, imbalance, aFRR, peak shaving and self-consumption, combined |
| Site context | The battery in isolation | Optimised against your site load, contracts and capacity tariffs |
| Cost view | Battery performance | Your total energy cost and savings across sites, with PRISM |
| Models | One battery model | Asset-class-specific physics: each asset gets its own optimisation model |
Single-asset optimisation is no longer enough
Most portfolios don't stop at one battery. Optimising each asset on its own leaves the combined value on the table.
One asset, one view
The battery is optimised in isolation, blind to your solar, process flexibility and site load.
Value streams compete
Balancing and arbitrage each pay at a different moment. Work them one at a time and the spread between them slips away.
Contracts out of sight
Your supply contract, capacity tariff and peak charges shape what a kWh is really worth.
Every new asset, a new tool
Heat pumps, e-boilers and EV chargers each end up with their own logic, or none at all.
Companion.energy helps us make sure all energy assets work together intelligently.
What Companion.energy adds
Multi-asset
Batteries, renewables, buffers and process flexibility orchestrated as one system. A battery isn't a load and isn't a generator, so each gets its own model.
Multi-market
PROPEL weighs day-ahead, imbalance, aFRR, peak shaving and self-consumption together, so the spread between them doesn't slip away.
The full cost picture
PRISM shows what your flexibility is worth against your total energy bill, not only the battery’s revenue.
See first.
Steer second.
Prism gives every site a live cost view. Propel forecasts markets and dispatches your flexible assets, ahead of every price move.
50-80% less manual work and real-time energy costs across every site
Prism connects every meter, every contract and every market signal into one live view. Finance and operations work from the same numbers.
Real-time visibility across every cost driver
Cuts monthly data pulls and cross-system reconciliations.
Sharper contracts. Smarter hedges.
Cuts the gut-feel calls in volatile markets.
Live budget tracking against actual exposure
Cuts month-end P&L surprises with continuous truth.
Forecasts that anticipate, not react
Machine learning blends weather, markets and your operations into every forecast.
10 to 30% lower energy costs. Multi-market dispatch across every flexible asset
Propel forecasts every market ahead of time and schedules your assets accordingly. Generating, storing or using energy to drive savings and extra revenue.
Multi-market dispatch, autonomously
Captures imbalance, ancillary and arbitrage value spreadsheets can't deliver.
Anticipates market moves ahead of time
Schedules dispatch before price spikes hit, not after they pass.
Orchestrates flexibility as one system
Solar, wind, batteries and process flexibility steered together.
Within your rules
Aligned with operational constraints. The decision and its outcome stay with you.
Grow beyond one asset
As you add solar, heat pumps, e-boilers or EV chargers, Companion.energy steers them together with your storage, within the rules you set.
Do I need a battery to benefit?
No. Flexibility comes in many forms: thermal and process buffers, heat pumps, e-boilers, on-site solar and EV charging. We often help uncover hidden potential with our customers.
Which markets do you steer on?
Day-ahead and imbalance arbitrage, aFRR balancing, peak shaving against capacity tariffs and self-consumption.
Will optimisation disrupt our operations?
No. PROPEL steers your assets within the rules and constraints you set, without compromising quality, stability or uptime.
