A platform for behind-the-meter orchestration
FlexMeasures is an intelligent EMS to optimize behind-the-meter energy flexibility ― anticipating the next 24 - 48 hours.
Build your smart energy apps & services with FlexMeasures as back-end for real-time orchestration!
Every organisation which builds an energy service around flexible assets like batteries, EVs, heat pumps or shiftable machinery can see the code, self-host it (learn how to get started today) or subscribe to the commercial cloud-service & consultation offerings (Offering one yourself? Get in touch).

Testimonials
The first startups and research organnizations are joining the eco-system. Here is what they say about FlexMeasures:
“FlexMeasures is a great way to start creating an energy management system solution. You can easily simulate and test without having all the energy hardware. The built-in UI makes it easy to visualize what is going on. Using the terminology of the USEF framework is also good and helps people acquire a terminology that helps with understanding of the European energy markets.”
— Ragnar Edholm (Senior Vice President of Engineering), Thiink Inc
“In India, we currently see three use cases for battery energy storage systems (BESS): round-the-clock solar power, islanding and frequency regulation in a grid, and diesel generator replacement. We aim to use FlexMeasures for the steering logic that will connect the monitoring and the control. For this logic, price-based scheduling and forecasting as an ancillary feature are important to us. In India, any optimisation tool needs to be better than a guy with a full-time job trying to do the same using Excel, because India has loads of such people at affordable salaries for employers. What’s exciting here is the option to have interoperability and customisation. And that’s where FlexMeasures can fit in.”

Origins
Energy flexibility is one of the crucial building blocks to achieving zero CO₂ in 2050. We need to continuously find the optimal time to run our flexible assets (like batteries or heat pumps). However, programming talent is scarce. Let's not re-invent this wheel hundreds of times!
Our vision: Real-time AI-based optimization for the energy transition is fully unlocked for all organizations in the world.
In early 2021, these excerpts from the mission statement of Seita Energy Flexibility formed the starting point to a major decision ― to develop FlexMeasures in the open.
