Trade fairs can be intense: endless new impressions, lots of interesting conversations, and not nearly enough fresh air. 😄 E-world this week was no exception, and we believe taking a moment to unwind together is essential, both on a professional and a personal level. On Tuesday evening, we did just that, with good wine, great food, and even better company. 🚀 Was a pleasure exchanging ideas and sharing the evening with you! Thom Homsma (Eneco), Berend Olde Rikkert, Jamie Scott, Bram van der Wal (NET2GRID), Eric Meyers (Cast4All Technologies), Michael Johanns (Deftpower), Olivier Piraux, Semir Dazdarevic (NEXXTLAB), Jon Ferris, Lucinda Murley (LCP Delta) and Konrad Eickhoff & Wout Lagae (Pleevi).

We’re heading to E-world 2025! 🚀 Powernaut is joining one of 2025’s most prominent gatherings of the European energy industry. Serge and Florentijn are looking forward to sharing and learning together with the community. Let’s get in touch if you’re attending too! 💡

How does Powernaut simplify the energy transition? 🔌 The way we produce and use energy is changing. We are no longer fully relying solely on massive, centralised power plants. The future is decentralised, with energy generated by millions of local assets—from solar panels and batteries in homes to car parks where electrical vehicles can feed energy back into the grid. But here’s the challenge: how do we make this complex, distributed system work together nicely? 🤔 At Powernaut, we’ve developed the necessary technology that connects and manages these assets, creating a more efficient, sustainable energy network. Our vision is to empower a future where energy is not only cleaner and more reliable but also accessible to everyone. By transforming fragmented networks into a sustainable, intelligent grid, we’re driving the shift towards a decentralised energy future. 🌍 Listen to the founders Serge M. and Florentijn Degroote pitch Powernaut’s vision.
