🗞️🗞️ tado° has been hailed for our “trailblazing” entry into the energy supply market in Germany this month because it gives “a glimpse into the future of the energy transition”. We launched our HOURLY dynamic energy tariff a few weeks ago and energy transition practice LCP Delta has been quick to detail what this all means for the future of the industry. Looking at our move and an offering from 1KOMMA5°, associate consultant Chloé Deparis writes: “The key innovation here is not what tado° and 1KOMMA° are offering. It's the fact that it is tado° and 1KOMMA° offering it… “tado° and 1KOMMA5° are also asking the question: what’s an energy company for? By controlling not only assets but also general electricity usage, tado° and 1KOMMA5° could now start to change expectations about what an energy company is expected to do. It effectively poses the question: should a modern, green, digital energy company not do more than just offer electrons?” You can read more of Chloé’s insights in her LinkedIn article at https://lnkd.in/e8rJcTUp

The future of energy…is definitely green 🌱 and not that far off according to The Economist! In Germany, for example, the share of cheap renewable energy in the grid just reached another all-time high of 58% during the first half of the year. This positive development means that households will be benefiting from more and more hours of negative energy prices. The next step to accelerate the green energy transition is to shift demand, i.e household usage, to the cheapest hours. While tado° customers can already do so, there is still a long way to go. Check out Christian Deilmann’s summary for more insights on how “solar power will change the world”. #energyTransition #HomeEnergyManagement
Last week I decided to subscribe to #TheEconomist and enjoyed reading the cover article on energy. I was excited to see that very conservative and economically thinking journalists recognise that the energy future will clearly be sustainable. Here are my highlights from two recent Economist articles: 👉 “It is 70 years since at&t Bell Labs unveiled solar cells..” 👉 “Solar cells will in all likelihood be the single biggest source of electrical power on the planet by the mid 2030s.” 👉 “On current trends, the all-in cost of electricity solar cells produce promises to be less than half as expensive as the cheapest available today.” 👉 “People who could never afford to will start lighting their houses, driving a car or enjoying air conditioning.” At the same time, it means the world’s energy systems need to adapt: 👉 “As solar farms and wind parks take over Europe…”, “electricity wholesale prices in Germany were negative in 301 of the 8760 hours last year.” 👉 “The next option for policy makers is to shift demand.” 👉 “The idea is to move flexible sources of demand, such as electric-vehicle charging and heating buffers into hours of abundant energy.” Key recommendations to policy makers and regulation by the economist: 👍 Faster progress on the Smart Meter roll out in some countries is needed. 👍 Network charges (grid fees and taxes) should no longer be fixed rates regardless of when energy is taken from the grid, but such charges should further incentivize the consumption of energy in times of high energy availability. Check out some related infographics from other sources below. Links to the original articles in the comments. On another note: I always loved reading a variety of magazines and newspaper articles. In the digital age it became more difficult as multiple subscriptions are necessary. Am I the only person having this challenge?

(Heat) Pump up the Volume tado° has just spent a hugely successful and busy three days at InstallerSHOW 2024 and it was noticeable how much more focus there was on heat pumps and associated products and smart technology this year. The UK may currently be behind its European neighbours in adoption but clearly the industry recognises the importance of heat pumps for the energy transition. Journalists we spoke to also had noted how many more exhibitors were demonstrating their heat pump products. As well as tado°’s own stand, which attracted a lot of attention from installers for our tado° Professional Installer Programme, our new Heat Pump Optimizer X also featured at our partner Panasonic’s booth. InstallerSHOW, held at Birmingham’s NEC, was bigger than ever this year, with 600+ exhibitors and about 20,000 visitors. #heatpumps #InstallerSHOW2024 #energytransition

New Energy was the hot topic at NOAH Conference in London last week - displacing even AI and Fintech in the fight for the investors’ attention - but for the uninitiated, what is it? "New energy" means helping manage and reduce energy consumption instead of trying to sell more and more of it - a paradigm shift that is about to turn the energy industry upside down. And when you add in the green energy transition you get a revolution. As one of the drivers of the revolution, our CEO Dr. Philip Beckmann talked about tado°’s achievements in helping its existing 800,000 customers across Europe save energy and costs – and its vision of an open platform that makes it easy for households to efficiently manage their heat pump, wallbox, PV system and battery storage for maximum savings. Do you want to know more about the key points raised at NOAH or our vision? You know where to find us! #HEM #HomeEnergyManagement #EnergyTransition

++ NEWS ++ tado° is Germany’s newest energy provider! From today, households can benefit directly from cheaper green energy and save up to 35% of their annual electricity costs with our HOURLY dynamic tariff. How? By switching from a fixed tariff and letting tado° do the rest! We help customers automatically shift the energy consumption of their heat pumps and electric vehicles to the times of day when energy prices are cheaper - or even negative! In April, prices on the European Energy Exchange were negative for 50 hours - that meant households actually got paid for using energy. We expect to see more of this during the summer. Add in the tado° Smart Thermostats and you’ve got an efficient yet simple-to-use energy management solution that helps households reduce both energy costs and consumption! Of course, the tado° energy management solutions work with other flexible tariffs in our other countries, as well. #energyTransition #greenEnergy #netZero

Key to a successful energy transition towards volatile renewable energy sources: smart, flexible energy consumption. This week our co-founder Christian Deilmann discussed at Energy Tech Summit, one of the leading European industry meet-ups for smart climate tech in Bilbao, tado°s solution to the challenge of shifting demand to times of surplus green energy supply: Intelligent energy management for heat pumps and electric cars. tado° energy management solutions make smart use of the hourly fluctuations in the supply of renewable energy sources. By shifting energy consumption for heat pumps and EVs to times of low energy prices when wind and solar energy production is high, tado° helps 👉 households save energy costs, and 👉 manage the amount of green energy in the grid allowing more to be produced. #ClimateTech #EnergyTransition #EnergyManagement #EnergyEfficiency
