Frequently asked questions

Learn how Wattscout helps commercial and industrial buildings optimize energy usage, reduce costs, and unlock new value through flexibility markets. Here are some quick answers to the most common questions about our platform and its benefits.

General

Intelligent smart platform that optimizes energy use across buildings and industrial sites.

We optimize entire energy system — solar, batteries, HVAC, EV charging, grid — using AI-based forecasts and control strategies.

No. Wattscout integrates with SCADA, EMS or BMS — we add intelligence and optimization.

Yes. As part of our process, we run detailed simulations to estimate both potential savings from optimization (Connected Prosumer) and revenue potential from flexibility markets (Connected Trading).
This allows us to validate the value for your site before full implementation — giving you a clear understanding of the expected business case.

Wattscout is specifically designed for professional energy users such as:

  • Commercial real estate (offices, retail, logistics buildings)

  • Industrial facilities

  • Industrial parks and energy clusters

  • Public buildings with high energy consumption and cost focus

Our platform is not intended for residential homes or small-scale systems — we focus on large-scale optimization and market participation for sites where energy is a significant cost factor.

Technical

EMS controls devices by rules. Connected Prosumer predicts and optimizes energy use, sending optimized control plans (calendar).

Yes. We optimize solar PV, battery storage, HVAC, EV charging, grid interaction — as one system. Even buildings! 

No. Wattscout works with or without batteries — we optimize all flexible assets.
