Your consultant makes the big calls. We make them pay off.
Consultants focus on long-term, discrete decisions. Companion.energy handles the minute-by-minute reality in between, with live data, continuous re-forecasting and real-time optimisation.
Our co-founder Thomas can tell you all about it
Periodic advice or continuous optimisation
A tender or contract review sets the course. Markets move in minutes, faster than any human team. That is where the value of those decisions is won or lost.
| Aspect | A typical consultancy engagement | Companion.energy |
|---|---|---|
| Rhythm | Periodic: tenders, contract reviews, quarterly reports | Continuous: live data, re-forecasting and real-time optimisation |
| Focus | Long-term, discrete decisions | The minute-by-minute reality in between |
| Data | Snapshots and spreadsheets | One live view across meters, contracts and market signals |
| Flexibility | Advice on what could be done | Assets steered autonomously across markets, within your rules |
| Market moves | Reviewed after the fact | Anticipated: dispatch is scheduled before price spikes hit |
| Scaling up | More sites, more hours | 50 to 80% less manual work, no upstaffing as complexity grows |
Great decisions still need daily execution
A good consultant brings experience to the big, infrequent calls. Between those moments, energy keeps moving.
Snapshots go stale
Excel models built for a review go cold within days, while prices and consumption keep changing.
Value slips between reviews
Imbalance, arbitrage and peak opportunities pass in minutes. Quarterly reviews leave them on the table.
Advice is not action
Knowing your flexibility could earn more doesn't steer a single asset.
More sites, more hours
Every new site, contract or asset adds manual work and cost.
We finally see what’s happening in real time and can actually act on it.

Action, not only advice

No. Companion.energy complements your consultant’s work. While consultants focus on long-term, discrete optimisations, we handle the "minute-by-minute" reality.
