Finally E-world again: Three days full of reunions!

Just a few weeks before, there were still a lot of question marks: Who will even go to E-world? Will it be like previous years? Before 2020, it was quite clear: the energy industry would go to E-world in February. After a two-year break, lockdowns and constant cancellations, the date is now in June.

After the preparations for this event were rather slow this year, GreenPocket was even more surprised on site: more than 200 discussions with interested customers and partners, countless reunions, numerous offers that we are now preparing, a full stand for three days and an exhausted but happy GreenPocket team at the end.

GreenPocket knows the challenges

Over the past two years, we have been able to analyse the market challenges in detail and further develop our product. At E-world, we not only held discussions with interested energy suppliers and municipal utilities, but also numerous meetings with corporate customers looking for energy management software. Our pilot offer was particularly well received, with which corporate customers can obtain our software at an introductory price and thus act quickly and easily in an energy-efficient manner.

Because energy management is no longer a ‘distant memory’: Drivers such as

• ESG
• rising energy costs
• pressure from society and customers
• climate protection

encourage corporate customers to take a closer look at their consumption and build a more sustainable image. The BMWK's ‘Einsparzähler’ (savings meter) support programme also plays a major role in this, allowing users of our EnMS to transparently view energy savings using the baseline generator and better assess the relevance of energy efficiency measures.

At the same time, in addition to the visualisation obligations of the rollout, energy suppliers are subject to new obligations under the HKVO and FFVAV, which provide a transparent insight into consumption.

Many E-world discussions also dealt with HKVO visualisation, CO2 reporting and energy efficiency.

Product innovations are well received by the market

Due to the advancing digitalisation in the field of sensor technology and LoRaWAN networks, the fact that the GreenPocket software can map any sensor-based measurement series was particularly well received. This means that you are not limited to electricity, but can also map heat, compressed air, temperature, humidity, etc.

The automatic load profile analysis for energy suppliers, which reveals to account managers the suitability of their customers for reduced concession fees, also proved to be a real added value. The monitoring of their own (heating) grids also proved to be an exciting use case for energy suppliers.

There has been a lot of discussion about electricity communities in the private customer sector, as our EnergyCockpit is currently being further developed as part of the eCREW research project so that the consumption, generation and costs of an electricity community can also be mapped and analysed. The first mock-ups, which were created by our talented design team and will be incorporated into our product in Q3, have already been presented to interested customers here.

The new features relating to the formula editor, flexible analysis and the Sankey diagram were also presented for the first time at E-world. The feedback we received from customers was that the development of our products over the last two years has been truly enormous - which of course makes us very happy and confirms one of our most important product philosophies!

As always, teamwork is a top priority

For our company, which is still quite ‘start-uppy’, more than 15 colleagues once again lent a hand this year over four days and mastered stand construction, three days on site and stand dismantling completely without stand builders. This shows us again and again how much teamwork and such a good team spirit, where everyone lends a hand, is really worth.

Now we're going to recharge our batteries and look back on everything - because before the fair is after the fair and we're already looking forward to seeing you again in May 2023!

Until then, we will be happy to assist you with any questions, challenges and obligations!
