At the centre of the smart grid revolution, Energy Pool manages and optimizes complex systems (energy consumption of industrial sites, decentralized production, renewable energies, storage devices...) for a smarter and low-carbon energy management and achieve substantial savings. Energy Pool has been one of the pioneers in the French flexibility market since 2009, and now has more than 120 employees. In addition to France, we have also been present in the Japanese and Turkish markets since 2015, and in the Netherlands since 2018, and are leading developments in around 10 countries (Germany, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Ivory Coast…). The development of our business sector has accelerated over the past two years, encouraged by the European Union and the definition of ambitious objectives to increase flexibility in electricity consumption and to improve energy efficiency. On an international scale, many emerging countries are considering integrating consumption flexibility to avoid costly over-investments which often use hydrocarbons. Moreover, the targets in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions require the electrification and decarbonisation of part of the production chains, which is opening up some excellent prospects for the coming decade. Energy Pool intends to play a key role with its customers and states to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. To respond to this challenge, Energy Pool is expanding its service offering by including a DERMS (Distributed Energy Resources Management System) software solution that is constantly being updated with new functionalities and which enables the optimised management of energy networks. Energy Pool’s ambition: To be a leader in energy management for complex systems.
