Frequently asked questions
Companion.energy complements your consultant’s work. While consultants focus on long-term, discrete optimizations, we handle the "minute-by-minute" reality. Our software enables continuous (re-)forecasting and real-time optimization to maximize the impact of those decisions.
What really matters is how your additional or reduced grid consumption is priced. In practice, over 90% of large companies are marginally exposed to day-ahead and/or imbalance prices.
Flexibility comes in many forms, and we often help uncover hidden potential with our customers. Let’s explore it together.
If you manage energy, energy costs and emissions, work in GWh, and measure energy expenses in millions — Companion.energy is for you!
