Energy & Meteo Systems Spins off Successful Business Units

Oldenburg, Germany - With its wind and solar power forecasts and consulting services for the global energy industry, Energy & Meteo Systems is one of the leading international providers of forward-looking services and IT products for the market and grid integration of renewable energies.

With a view to flexible development opportunities and better access to customers, the business areas Virtual Power Plant and Redispatch 2.0 have been restructured as of 01 June 2021.

The company is thus reacting to the dynamic developments in the energy sector and the increased demand for customised software solutions. The business areas of power forecasts for wind and solar as well as consulting services for the international energy market will remain with Energy & Meteo Systems GmbH.

The spin-off is intended to give the successful business units more freedom. "The three companies will of course continue to cooperate closely with each other, but they can also go their own ways in a diversifying market environment," says Dr Ulrich Focken, one of the managing directors of Energy & Meteo Systems. In addition, the splitting of the business units represents an important step in order to be even better equipped for the future challenges of the digital energy transition, adds Dr. Matthias Lange. Meteo Systems' second managing director. He adds that this is also in the interest of customers worldwide, who can be addressed in a more targeted manner in the future.

All activities relating to the market-leading Virtual Power Plant, which is provided by Energy & Meteo Systems as a Software-as-a-Service solution, will in future be managed by Emsys VPP GmbH. The usual service and technical contact persons will be retained in full. The virtual power plant technology connects decentralised electricity generators, storage facilities and controllable consumers via a common control room and is used by numerous energy suppliers and direct marketers to monitor, remotely control and profitably market aggregated electricity production.

Based on the new IT platform Future Power Flow, Emsys Grid Services GmbH now offers grid operators an intelligent solution to successfully meet the requirements of Redispatch 2.0 and an increasingly decentralised energy system. The digital all-in-one solution processes large amounts of data, such as grid data, flexibilities, generation and load forecasts, and calculates an optimal utilisation of grid resources. This enables grid operators to detect impending grid bottlenecks at an early stage and avoid costly shutdowns, says Energy & Meteo Systems about the IT platform.
