Objective
SEGrid is a decision support platform that helps industries cut electricity costs and reduce emissions through precise forecasting and optimisation. It combines real time data from power markets, weather sources and grid models to predict price and carbon intensity every fifteen minutes at regional level. These forecasts are then converted into operational schedules, via optimization algorithms, that adapt to each industrial process, enabling large consumers to shift demand to cleaner and more affordable hours without compromising production.
The project has two central objectives. The first has a technical dimension, that consists in maturing Emissium from a validated prototype into a robust, integrated platform capable of delivering accurate electricity price and carbon intensity forecasts, together with an optimisation engine that produces reliable operational schedules for industrial users. This involves strengthening the data infrastructure, improving model accuracy, and demonstrating the system in real industrial environments where cost and emissions reductions can be measured.
The second objective is to validate the business dimension. The project will test a profit sharing business model designed to reduce adoption barriers, engage industrial partners in structured pilot activities, and determine whether verified savings support a viable commercial strategy. This includes assessing customer willingness to adopt the technology, refining pricing mechanisms, and confirming that the solution solves a relevant problem in a way that can be scaled across the European industrial sector.
Overall, the project aims to de risk both the technology and the business model, creating a credible pathway for commercial rollout and investment readiness.
