Creating new energy solutions through smart collaboration

Smart Energy LAB is an organization for developing any new product, service, or process that accelerates the business of companies offering New Energy Downstream solutions.

We do it by combining three levers of acceleration of the end-user energy transition – Client adoption, Transactional cost reduction and Technology adaptation for delivery – and boosting a highly qualified team with competencies in Business, Customer Experience and Technology.

Together with our stakeholders from industry and academia, we accelerate energy transition through a unique combination of science, technology, and access to market expertise. Smart Energy Lab has been investing and solving problems for energy companies in three focus areas: EV charging, EMS to implement complex use cases and flexibility offerings.
