OKWIND sharpens its strategy around local energy autonomy
The company is combining solar generation, storage and software to help businesses manage more of their electricity on site.
The story
French energy company OKWIND is refocusing its offer around solar production, storage and intelligent energy management. The model aims to help farms and industrial businesses consume a larger share of locally generated power.
Distributed energy becomes more valuable when hardware and software work as one system. Forecasting demand, deciding when to store electricity and responding to price signals can materially change the economics of a solar installation.
The next proof point is repeatable performance across different sites. Customers will look for transparent savings, dependable storage and controls that can cooperate with the wider grid.
