ENERGY POOL

ENERGY POOL is an independent energy flexibility management company founded in 2009, which connects, aggregates and optimises distributed energy assets to deliver demand response and grid balancing services. Its flexibility management platform handles industrial loads, renewable generation, storage systems and hybrid power plants, and currently manages 8 GW of flexibility - equivalent to the capacity of eight nuclear reactors.
