of the monthly peak was avoidable
A steel plant's monthly peak demand (11.4 MW) was driven by the simultaneous startup of furnaces and compressors. Smart control now flattens the load.

Municipal — generation & consumption
The city's generation and consumption, under one control layer
City of Rotterdam — Generation, consumption and operations across the city — spread over separate platforms
97–99%
AI forecast on generation and consumption
The tools already existed: separate dashboards for generation, for consumption and for operations. What was missing was coherence. Rotterdam brought generation and consumption together on EGOS — the Evogrid Operating System that reads, forecasts and steers production and consumption as one.
- Generation under control
- Solar, vendor-agnostic across all parks
- Consumption under control
- Per site and installation, real-time
- Decision layers
- Detect · Determine · Decide

The situation
Solar parks, consumption meters and work orders each ran on their own island. Data was abundant — but no system turned it into a single view. Generation and consumption weren't reconciled together, consumption peaks stayed invisible until the invoice, and the step from measuring to one concrete action was missing.
What Evogrid did
- Generation and consumption brought together vendor-agnostically on EGOS — from real-time power flow to daily profiles of production against consumption.
- AI forecasting on generation and consumption at 97–99% accuracy — a deviation shows today, not on the annual statement.
- Smart consumption control: shift peaks, monitor reactive power and pick the right tariff per site and installation.
- One central overview across all sites — deviations flagged, followed up and traceable per asset.
One central control layer over generation and consumption
Whether you are a municipality or an industrial large-scale consumer: fragmented energy systems are a direct financial risk. One overarching control layer forges your entire operation into a single whole. Within today's national grid mechanics, an inaccurate forecast costs you money directly.
Solar & storage
From eight fragmented platforms to one autonomous portfolio.
Smart Solar Technologies — Solar developer and EPC contractor operating 242 energy parks across Europe and the Middle East.
+€14.9M
extra generation revenue per year
A portfolio comprising 1.2 GW of solar and 60 MW of battery storage was scattered across eight separate monitoring systems. Without highly accurate hourly forecasts, generated power went unused, and imbalance costs compounded daily. Evogrid unified the entire infrastructure onto a single platform—enabling the assets to monetize themselves autonomously.
- Solar capacity
- 1,216 MW (approx. 2.7 million panels)
- Energy parks
- 242 sites
- Battery storage
- 60 MW
The situation
Relying on eight different inverter brands meant managing eight separate screens with zero centralized oversight. Hourly financial settlement and day-ahead forecasting were nonexistent. Energy trading and battery dispatch were handled manually. Every missed forecast carried a heavy penalty: resulting in €5.8M annually in imbalance fines and 134 GWh of clean energy generated but never monetized.
What Evogrid did
- Consolidated all inverter data, KPIs, and maintenance alerts into one hardware-agnostic platform.
- Automated hourly settlement via AI-driven forecasts per park—instantly ready for day-ahead nomination.
- Implemented autonomous buy, sell, and store decisions based on live market prices and yield forecasts.
In Dutch terms
Leaving 134 GWh of generation unused equals the annual energy consumption of over 50,000 Dutch households. Under TenneT's strict Dutch imbalance regime, every single missed forecast hits your bottom line relentlessly.
Retail — 12,000+ sites
12,000 stores, one unified control tower.
ŞOK — Supermarket chain operating over 12,000 stores, each on a separate grid connection.
−92%
reactive power penalties per year
A massive retail chain operated 12,000+ locations, each with its own individual grid connection. Refrigeration, climate control, and checkout systems draw power 24/7, yet centralized energy management was entirely absent. Evogrid transformed this fragmented network into one highly controllable, portfolio-wide system.
- Stores
- 12,000+ sites
- Consumption profile
- Refrigeration, HVAC, and checkouts (24/7)
- Scale
- Thousands of utility invoices and contracts processed monthly
The situation
Without centralized, real-time insight at the store and installation level, massive inefficiencies remained invisible. Reactive power was not structurally monitored, triggering up to €1.2 million annually in utility penalties. Furthermore, manually verifying 12,000 energy invoices required 23 full-time employees (FTEs) navigating countless fragmented portals.
What Evogrid did
- Deployed real-time insight per store and per asset, centralized into a single control tower.
- Implemented continuous reactive power monitoring with automated alerts, ensuring deviations are corrected instantly.
- Automated the verification and validation of thousands of utility invoices monthly, drastically cutting administrative overhead.
In Dutch terms
Dutch large energy consumers frequently face stiff reactive power penalties and fragmented multi-site management. This case proves what centralized control achieves: eliminated waste, avoided fines, and absolute grip at scale. Saving 412 MWh annually is equivalent to the consumption of ~165 households.
Retail & own generation
Award-winning: the country's most efficient retail operation.
Migros — Retail chain with 2,000+ stores, 60 MW+ of self-generated solar, and connections across 21 grid operators.
'Best Efficiency Project' — retail sector award
€2.4M
lower energy costs per year
Managing 2,000+ stores, 20+ solar farms, 81 regions, and 21 different grid operators meant energy costs were a chaotic sum of thousands of unverified invoices and conflicting tariffs. Evogrid consolidated the entire operation into one intelligently controlled system—earning the retail sector's highest efficiency award.
- Stores
- 2,000+ sites across 81 regions
- Own generation
- 20+ solar farms, exceeding 60 MW
- Grid operators
- 21 connection areas managed from one dashboard
The situation
With proprietary solar farms, thousands of stores, and 21 grid operators, financial transparency was non-existent. Invoices were simply paid, never validated. Regional tariffs varied wildly, and netting compensation for self-generated power was constantly left on the table.
What Evogrid did
- Activated AI forecasting and automated alerts per store—exposing every deviation instantly.
- Centrally monitored and validated utility invoices and tariffs across all 21 grid operators.
- Fully automated the financial netting and compensation between self-generation and store consumption.
In Dutch terms
Eliminating 23.5 GWh of unnecessary consumption equates to powering ~9,000 Dutch households for a year. Preventing 11,162 tons of CO₂ emissions provides the exact hard, verifiable data required for rigorous CSRD reporting.
