No. Wattscout complements your current EMS or BMS — we add advanced intelligence, forecasting, and optimization capabilities through Connected Prosumer and Connected Flex Trading.

Wattscout seamlessly integrates with your existing Energy Management System (EMS) or Building Management System (BMS) through standard APIs. Connected Prosumer provides optimized control plans and flexibility schedules, enhancing and complementing your existing systems.

Energy flexibility is the ability to adjust energy consumption or production based on external signals such as price or grid demand. Leveraging flexibility allows businesses to lower costs, enhance grid stability, and contribute to a more sustainable energy system — all key benefits supported by Connected Prosumer and Connected Flex Trading.

Wattscout enhances energy security through real-time insights, predictive analytics, and automated control provided by Connected Prosumer and Connected Flex Trading. This ensures a reliable energy supply and helps manage risks from price volatility and grid instability.

Connected Prosumer is an advanced AI-based optimization product that enhances your existing Energy Management System (EMS).
While a traditional EMS operates on fixed rules, Connected Prosumer predicts energy demand and optimizes the operation of flexible assets. It delivers optimized control plans to your EMS, enabling dynamic, intelligent energy management.

No. Wattscout works with or without batteries. Connected Prosumer optimizes all flexible energy assets, including demand-side flexibility.

Connected Prosumer enables battery owners to create flexible commercial agreements with energy buyers.
