Gerard &amp; Anton award winner tibo energy offers a smart solution to deal with solar panels, heat pumps, and batteries. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand for smart energy management is growing worldwide. Many commercial and industrial (C&amp;I) companies are responding to the limitation of national energy grids by increasing their ability to generate electricity on-site via assets like solar panels, heat pumps, and batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energy management is becoming more complicated <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as the amount of these assets increases, the energy system becomes more difficult to manage, often becoming so complex that many companies hire energy consultants to help manage it. Though these consultants often have the same knowledge of the customer, they lack the applications to provide an efficient and cost-effective solution from a \u201csystem\u201d perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tibo energy has built&nbsp;energy management software&nbsp;to solve these issues. With this solution, every energy professional can simulate complex systems, and every installation technical company can create an energy hub. tibo\u2019s software-only platform, powered by machine learning, gives companies control of smart energy networks. Helping them transition to local smart energy grids and move away from fossil fuel-based sources. Allowing them to de-risk their energy supply and transform it into a more sustainable operating model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to have achieved this funding as a team. The impact and commercial potential of our software is huge, and we\u2019re glad to have a pair of world-renowned investors on board who understand that potential and will help us drive it forward. We\u2019re greatly looking forward to the future,\u201d says Tibo Energy co-founder and CEO Remco Eikhout.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-7c5fbaff\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/gerard-anton-award-winner-tibo-energy-to-end-grid-congestion-and-ensure-a-sustainable-future\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"G&amp;A Award winner Tibo Energy wants a future without grid congestion\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">G&amp;A Award winner Tibo Energy wants a future without grid congestion<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Manage network congestion, manage contract limits, reduce CO2 emissions, and reduce energy costs: Tibo Energy\u2019s goals are as clear as they are desirable. <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Huge opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity for tibo is huge,\u201d says&nbsp;Rene Savelsberg, co-founder and Partner of SET Ventures. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen the rate of electrification accelerate in recent years. Since 2019, 167 GW of distributed solar panels has been added to the energy mix, with the majority coming from installations at C&amp;I customers like those tibo is targeting. Their ability to turn energy assets into a local smart grid will enable these companies to electrify quicker and optimize for price and CO<sub>2<\/sub> impact.&nbsp;Their easily deployable cutting-edge technology is a real game-changer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sector and its difficulties are indeed growing. Energy storage capacity in Europe is expected to increase by 400 GWh, enough to power approximately 4,200 factories for one year. At the same time, many industrial processes are becoming electrified, leading to a change in the energy demand of these companies. With tibo, complex&nbsp;modeling,&nbsp;simulation, and&nbsp;control&nbsp;becomes much simpler, allowing companies to create digital versions of their network to simulate scenarios and visualize a smarter grid. This means they can go electric and install renewable assets while avoiding costly grid expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince the soft product launch in 2023, the strong demand for tibo\u2019s product underscores the pressing need for tackling grid congestion and (em)powering smarter grids. We\u2019ve been very impressed by Remco Eikhout and the team\u2019s entrepreneurial, energy, and technical backgrounds. Coupled with their unique market insights, the company is positioned as a key player in advancing toward a more resilient and sustainable energy future,\u201d says&nbsp;Namratha Kothapalli, Principal at Speedinvest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch startup, tibo energy, is pleased to announce today that it has closed \u20ac3M million in seed funding to grow its team and focus on international expansion.
