Our Vision

Electricity in our veins, interdisciplinary, committed and sustainable - these are the qualities that define Energiekoppler.

We all want a future with a renewable and independent energy supply. Consequently, the fluctuating energy generation necessitates balancing through flexible generation, usage and storage. The current trend towards “self-sufficiency” in the sense of self-consumption optimization cannot be the final word in this matter. Instead, we should make full use of flexibility across the board. This means taking the load on the electrical grid into account as well as allowing neighbors or other customers to use the flexibility. Through the development of the Flexibility Plant, we are helping to shape the energy system of tomorrow and enabling optimal electricity flow management.

Our Mission

Since 2011, an interdisciplinary team specializing in electrical and thermal energy supply at the Technical University of Dresden has been researching the multi-sector coupling of electricity, heat, gas and mobility. This extensive research culminated in 2020 with the founding of DieEnergiekoppler GmbH and the development of the innovative Flexibility Plant. In 2021, we successfully entered the market.

Following our market entry in the area of direct marketing, we are now focusing on flexibility marketing, the core characteristic of the Flexibility Plant. With automation, standardization and a technology-agnostic approach, we will provide a solution for a wide range of applications. This will allow us to enable business models in the future that still seem uneconomical today.
