Size, manage, and operate renewable energy communities (RECs)

Recreation removes the community manager friction in the operation of renewable energy communities efficiently across both pre‑delivery and post‑delivery decision layers. It includes services to assist community sizing, while explicitly accounting for different promoter roles and business models. It provides settlement services to remove complexity in sharing energy assets. Recreation integrates with SAP BTP, so we can scale communities together.

  • Simplify the operation of energy communities and settlement processes

    Expedite community manager process in the initial analysis and set up process for new energy communities. Enable citizens, companies, and local authorities to locally produce renewable energy and share it for consumption. Promote citizens active participation in the energy system, decentralized renewable energy integration, and a better match between local generation and consumption

  • Reduce costs and time in computing how flexible resources operate

    Turn batteries, EVs and other assets into profit centers: optimize your flexible resources to drastically cut energy costs and maximize self-consumption revenues, all while staying fully compliant.

  • Configurable and adjustable energy supply map

    Turn real-time energy data into profit. At the post-delivery stage, our system intelligently allocates energy among members to minimize your overall energy costs and maximize shared self-consumption revenues automatically.

  • Establish financial compensation flows

    Deliver transparent, regulation-compliant settlements that guarantee fair financial compensation for shared energy, perfectly aligning member incentives with a highly configurable community business model.

Features

Size distributed energy assets for energy communities with the SITEC service

Determine the optimal sizing of PV systems, batteries, EV, and electric water heaters in renewable energy communities. It evaluates energy demand, local generation, flexibility resources, and economic conditions to recommend the asset portfolio that maximizes community-wide savings.

Enable local energy markets and community pricing with the transactions service

Calculates energy transactions among community members using smart meter data, energy allocation rules, and local market mechanisms. It applies the configured business model to determine how energy and associated benefits are shared among participants and generates pricing records for settlement.
