Europe’s energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. With the EU’s ambitious decarbonization goals and the rising demand for electricity, the need for innovative solutions to manage energy consumption has never been greater. Synergi, a Helsinki-based tech startup, is addressing this challenge head-on, leveraging technology to optimize energy usage and reduce carbon emissions.
Revolutionizing Home Energy Management
Since its launch in 2023, Synergi’s user-friendly platform has empowered European households to take control of their energy consumption. By integrating electric vehicle charging, heat pumps, and solar panels, the platform helps users maximize energy efficiency and minimize costs. In fact, some users have reported impressive savings of up to 50% on EV charging and 20% on annual heating costs.
A Collaborative Approach to Energy Flexibility
Synergi’s unique approach sets it apart from traditional energy providers and infrastructure companies. By partnering with existing players in the energy market, the company offers a flexible platform that benefits both utilities and consumers. This collaboration fosters a more efficient and sustainable energy ecosystem.
Empowering Consumers and Utilities
Antti Hämmäinen, CEO of Synergi, envisions a future where consumers and utilities can actively participate in energy flexibility markets. By aggregating customer-owned energy assets, utilities can generate revenue and provide innovative solutions to their customers. Synergi’s platform enables this vision by providing a seamless user experience and valuable insights into energy usage patterns.
Overcoming Challenges and Building a Sustainable Future
While the potential of energy flexibility is undeniable, there are challenges to overcome. Consumer education and behavioral change are critical factors in driving widespread adoption. Synergi’s reward-based system is designed to incentivize sustainable energy practices and make the transition to a greener future more appealing.
The company’s impact on reducing emissions varies across different regions and energy mixes. However, a recent study revealed that smart charging through Synergi’s platform reduced emissions by up to 18% in Finland and 3% in Poland. These results highlight the significant potential of energy flexibility to mitigate climate change.
