The Combinder community is buzzing with excitement as we announce our latest partnership with Optivice.energy, a leading Energy Management as a Service (EMaaS) provider. Together, we’re setting the stage for a revolutionary step in energy flexibility management, bringing Combinder’s community-driven, decentralized energy network to businesses and energy communities across Europe.
This collaboration represents a significant milestone for Combinder, as we keep onboarding the demand side of the DePIN equation, after the AI specialists Olas and Nevermined in previous weeks. Optivice has built a strong reputation by helping businesses and energy communities optimize their energy use, reduce costs, and boost energy efficiency. Their expertise in energy optimization and demand response management is a perfect match for Combinder's unique ability to connect Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to energy markets. Together, we’ll offer clients seamless access to our network, while empowering them to control and optimize their energy consumption.
The success of companies like Optivice relies on accessing and controlling a wide array of energy devices from their clients—such as HVAC systems, solar panels, and EV chargers. But with so many different brands and proprietary interfaces, they’d need to tackle over 100 APIs on their own! This API jungle is where Combinder shines. Our platform is designed to integrate into this fragmented DER landscape, acting as a simple, unified interface for developers.
Not only does Optivice benefit from Combinder’s technical expertise, but they also gain access to our growing community of DER owners. These users are eager to connect their devices, earn rewards, and participate in energy markets—making them an ideal users of Optivice’s services.
Our joint efforts will focus on tapping into the massive potential of Austria's energy communities, with over 2000 active groups representing roughly 100,000 electricity customers. Collaborations with existing and new Citizen Energy Communities will enable us to showcase the power of our combined solutions and demonstrate how decentralized energy management can create tangible benefits for businesses and consumers alike.
“Combinder provides the perfect link between Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and energy markets, enabling users to actively engage their smart devices, earn rewards, and participate in the energy market—an ideal fit for OPTIVICE.energy services! With Combinder, we can offer our customers a wide range of device integrations in record time, taking load management to a whole new level.” (Lucas Scheiber, Founder and CEO of OPTIVICE.energy)
We couldn’t be more thrilled to kick off on this partnership with Optivice, and we’re just getting started. By integrating our platforms, we’re not only solving the challenges of energy optimization and device control, but we’re also making it easier than ever for energy communities and businesses to tap into the fantastic value generation opportunities of modern energy markets.
