Industrial Consumers
Unlock a powerful new revenue stream by leveraging your facility's inherent energy flexibility. Instead of being only a cost center, your energy consumption can become a source of profit.
How You Earn RevenueWhen the grid has too much power (e.g., on a sunny, windy day) or too little, it becomes unstable. Grid operators need to quickly increase or decrease consumption to restore balance.
INOWATTIO's platform automatically signals your facility to adjust consumption in your flexible assets for a short period. You earn revenue for providing this essential balancing service, without disrupting your core operations.
Who is this for?Facilities with flexible, high-capacity electrical loads, such as:
- Aluminum Smelters & Steel Production
Utilize energy-intensive processes that can be ramped up or down.
- Cement & Chemical Production
Leverage large mills, kilns, and electrolysis for grid services.
- Industrial Gas Production & Electrolysis
Adjust output (e.g., for hydrogen) based on electricity prices and grid needs.
- Cold Storage & Refrigeration
Act as a "thermal battery" by adjusting temperatures within safe bands.
- Large-Scale HVAC & District Heating
Pre-cool or pre-heat large commercial/industrial spaces and water systems.
Renewable Generators
Go beyond selling kWh. Turn your renewable assets into a source of predictable, high-value grid stability services and maximize your revenue per megawatt.
How You Earn RevenueWhen the grid has an oversupply of energy (e.g., on a very sunny or windy day), the Transmission System Operator (TSO) needs to urgently reduce generation to maintain stability. Instead of shutting down conventional power plants, the TSO will pay renewable generators to temporarily stop injecting power into the grid.
INOWATTIO connects you to this lucrative balancing market, automatically signals your facility to curtail output when needed, and ensures you are paid for providing this critical service. This creates a valuable, predictable revenue stream entirely separate from the price you get for the energy you produce.
Who is this for?Developers, owners, and operators of utility-scale renewable energy assets, including:
- Wind Farms
Use their control systems to quickly reduce output without harming the turbines. - Large-Scale Solar PV Parks
Utilize inverters to instantly stop injecting power into the grid.
- Hydroelectric Power Plants
Capitalize on the inherent flexibility of hydro turbines for a range of balancing and reserve services.
- Biogas & Biomass Plants
Offer dispatchable power that can be quickly ramped down on command.
Energy Storage Operators
Transform your battery asset from a passive container into an active, high-frequency trading tool. Maximize your return on investment by capturing value from market volatility and providing critical grid services.
How You Earn RevenueThe core of battery profitability is energy arbitrage: buying low and selling high. INOWATTIO automates this process on an industrial scale. We signal your battery to charge when electricity prices are low or even negative (during periods of oversupply). You can even be paid to charge.
Then, when prices spike, our system automatically signals your battery to discharge, selling the stored energy back to the grid for a significant profit. This cycle can be repeated multiple times a day, maximizing your revenue.
Who is this for?This is ideal for owners and operators of large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), including:
- Stand-Alone Grid-Scale Batteries
Assets deployed specifically to play in energy markets and provide ancillary services.
- Co-located Storage
Batteries paired with solar or wind farms to store excess generation and sell it at more profitable times.
- Behind-the-Meter Industrial Storage
Large batteries at industrial sites used for both peak shaving and market participation.
Utilities & Grid Operators
Enhance grid resilience, reduce ancillary service costs, and accelerate the transition to a renewable-first system by integrating a distributed network of flexible energy resources.
How You BenefitInstead of relying solely on large, centralized power plants for grid balancing, you can tap into a geographically distributed network of flexible industrial loads, renewable generators, and battery storage systems.
INOWATTIO aggregates these resources into a single, reliable Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that you can dispatch on demand. This provides faster, more granular control over the grid, reduces reliance on fossil fuels for balancing, and creates a more stable, efficient, and cost-effective energy system for everyone.
Who is this for?Our platform is a powerful tool for forward-thinking energy system managers, including:
- Transmission System Operators (TSOs)
Procure balancing services and ancillary services more efficiently, improve grid stability, and manage congestion with a network of fast-responding distributed assets.
- Distribution System Operators (DSOs)
Manage local grid constraints, defer costly network upgrades, and improve power quality by leveraging flexibility within your distribution network.
- Utility Companies & Energy Suppliers
Reduce your imbalance costs, create new services for your large industrial customers, and build a more resilient portfolio of energy resources.

From Assets to Active Flexibility – Step by Step
We connect to your energy assets—be it industrial machinery, battery systems, or renewable generators—through secure, industry-standard protocols. Our system establishes a digital twin of each asset.
Our platform analyzes the operational constraints and capabilities of each asset to precisely quantify its available flexibility (e.g., ramp rates, capacity, duration).
The FlexPower engine continuously evaluates real-time market signals and grid conditions to determine the most profitable and technically feasible way to deploy your aggregated flexibility.
Once a dispatch instruction is confirmed, our system sends automated control signals to your assets, executing the flexibility provision with precision while respecting all operational boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our platform and services.
Will platform integration affect our core processes?
Absolutely not. Our platform operates as a secondary control layer that always respects your primary operational requirements. We establish clear, mutually-agreed upon boundaries and fail-safe conditions before activation. Your core processes are always the priority, and you retain full manual override capability at all times.
How does the onboarding process work?
Our team of energy and control engineers guides you through a structured onboarding process. It typically involves an initial site assessment, establishing secure connectivity, asset characterization, and a pilot phase before going fully live. The timeline varies but we aim for a streamlined and efficient deployment.
Which energy markets can we participate in?
Our platform supports a wide range of markets, including frequency response (e.g., FCR, FFR), capacity markets, wholesale energy markets, and various ancillary services. We continuously add support for new markets as they emerge.
How is pricing structured for platform services?
We typically operate on a shared-savings or revenue-share model, which means we only succeed when you do. This aligns our interests with yours to maximize the value of your assets. For some deployments, a SaaS subscription model may also be available.
How secure is the connection to our assets?
Security is our top priority. We use industry-standard protocols like OPC-UA, Modbus TCP, and DNP3, all layered with TLS encryption. Our platform is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure and undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing.
