Your briefing on what matters in energy.

We connect more than 30,000 energy assets, and the hard part is knowing every one is still reporting numbers we can trust. Here's how a small team of AI agents keeps the whole fleet in rhythm, turning a flood of alerts into a short list of real problems.

Ghent, Belgium, October 2025. Companion.energy, an energy platform specializing in energy cost and flexibility optimization, today announced the integration of its Companion.energy application with Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller on the Nokia Altiplano Application Marketplace, a premier hub to manage ever-growing network infrastructure.

We recently raised a round. If you have done that, you know the word that comes up all the time: moat. Investors look for a moat. So a big part of my job is creating conviction around mine.
Every energy project starts with an idea. Add a battery to your site, co-optimize it with your renewables. But an idea only gets funded once it's translated into numbers, so spreadsheets get built and business cases get modelled, and they seldom reflect the truth accurately.

A battery installed just to stay inside a grid limit can earn its keep too, but only if you optimise the whole site as one system, not asset by asset.

Belgian Eco Energy (BEE) and Ghent-based energy software company Companion.energy are strengthening their collaboration through a new partnership focused on integrated imbalance management. What connects them? A shared vision on smart energy management and the successful rollout of the BEE HIVE energy steering system, which has already reached over 50 MW of controlled capacity shortly after launch.
