More than an energy renovation: How can your housing company transform into a smart and productive virtual power plant?

What if your housing company didn't just save energy – it also made money from it?

At Renewe, we see a successful energy renovation as just the beginning. The next step is to transform your housing company into a smart virtual power plant that not only improves housing company's energy efficiency, also creates entirely new revenue streams.

From “dumb” devices to a smart ecosystem

In the traditional model, a housing company's energy systems often operate as their own islands. Heat pump takes care of the heating, solar panels generate electricity and the old electric boiler is just a passive backup system. This is a huge wasted potential when the real elasticity of consumption remains unused.

Our vision is different.

Vision of the future: The housing company becomes a virtual power plant

Imagine a housing company that is an active and intelligent player in the electricity market.

A building that knows the price of electricity on the exchange and can automatically charge batteries and charging stations electric cars full when electricity is cheap. Which starts the heating of the electric boiler's accumulator exactly when there is an oversupply of electricity in the network.

And best of all – a building that sells its battery capacity and offers the flexibility of its electric boiler to balance the grid, earning continuous, passive income. Thousands of euros, even tens of thousands of euros in large projects.

Components of a smart energy ecosystem

How is this whole thing built? It is created when we combine familiar components with intelligent control:

• Brain: Intelligent control system and continuous data collection. This central unit optimizes all operations based on real-time information.
• Heart: Effective geothermal heat pump– or air-water heat pump, which produces heat and/or cooling optimally.
• Lights: Roof mounted solar power plant, which “breathes” clean energy into the system.
• Stock: Accumulator battery works flexibly as an energy storageEfficient energy storage is key to maximizing self-sufficiency and returns.
• Flexible Power Supply: Modern electric boiler. Smart electric boiler control turning it into an active tool that provides valuable demand flexibility to the electricity grid and generates revenue for the housing company.
• Nervous system: Connection to the electricity reserve market through a reliable partner, enabling the utilization of all flexible resources, such as batteries and electric boilers.

What does this mean for your housing company?

When these parts work seamlessly together, the benefits are undeniable:

• Maximum savings: Energy consumption is automatically optimized every hour of the day.
• New revenue streams: Passive income from the electricity reserve market (using batteries and electric boilers), which significantly shortens the payback period of the investment.
• True self-sufficiency: As well as protection against price spikes.
• Significant increase in property value: A future-proof, smart and productive property is significantly more attractive to both residents and investors.
