Finnish solar energy company Solnet Group and Dutch energy management software (EMS) and battery specialist iwell are teaming up to help businesses across the UK and Europe build smarter, more resilient energy systems in an increasingly volatile market. Announced today during the trade mission between Finland and the Netherlands, the partnership primarily targets companies in the UK, Netherlands and Germany, where demand for secure, sustainable, and affordable energy solutions is rapidly increasing.
Utilising its deep technical expertise, Solnet’s strong customer network and full-scope capabilities enable the design, engineering and delivery of large-scale solar and battery installations. Meanwhile, iwell’s battery storage systems and smart energy management software solutions help businesses optimally use their generated energy. By combining these strengths, an integrated solution emerges that enables companies to generate, store, and better deploy their own energy when the grid is congested or electricity prices spike.
The partnership is cited by both companies as coming at a crucial time, as geopolitical tensions and pressure on the electricity grid are establishing a growing urgency in Europe to become less dependent on external factors. This is being reflected in the increasing number of businesses seeking control over their energy consumption and supply, as well as ways to reduce costs and ensure continuity.
Arttur Kulvik (chairman Solnet Group) comments: "By combining our technologies, we can help companies manage their energy more intelligently. They are less dependent on peak prices and can better respond to fluctuations in supply and demand. This makes them more resilient in a changing market."
