July 30, 2025

We’re introducing two major upgrades designed to support utilities working with industrial energy customers and households using smart home energy systems.
With automated PPA billing and real-time price signals for HEMS, exnaton now provides even more flexibility and precision across your energy products.

1. Automated PPA Billing – Built for Industrial Energy Contracts

Managing PPAs for industrial customers often involves complex contract structures, multiple delivery points, and a mix of fixed and market-based pricing.
exnaton now supports fully automated billing for Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), making it easier to consolidate contract logic and execute accurate invoicing at scale.

Key capabilities

  • Combine PPAs, tranches, and spot market volumes. Handle hybrid procurement structures in a single system.
  • Automate billing across multiple delivery points. Generate consistent, transparent billing for complex customer setups.
  • Support pay-as-used or pay-as-forecasted models. Choose the settlement logic that fits each contract.
  • Handle indexed pricing, formulas & price corridors. Accommodate market-linked pricing with flexible calculation tools.
  • Full transparency for sustainability and sourcing. Provide customers with clear metadata on energy origin and environmental impact.

This module is ideal for utilities serving industrial customers with multi-source electricity needs, mixed procurement strategies, and high contract complexity.

2. Maximize the Value of Your HEMS Offering with Real-Time Price Signals

exnaton’s Prices API is designed to bring dynamic pricing directly into the home.
You can now deliver real, customer-specific total-price signals — including SPOT prices, forecasts, grid charges, and taxes — directly into HEMS and home automation systems.

What this enables

  • Smarter self-consumption. PV, battery, and EV charging adapt automatically to real-time costs.
  • Lower energy bills. Customers benefit from transparent, optimized price-based operation.
  • Grid-compliant flexibility. Heat pumps, EVs, and other flexible loads can be controlled in line with grid needs.
  • Easy integration. Secure, stable APIs connect directly to your existing architecture — no changes to control logic required.

Built with strong partners

Together with partners like clever-PV, SolarManager, Zerofy and others, exnaton combines dynamic tariffs and intelligent energy management into one seamless solution.
Utilities can now deliver dynamic household tariffs and advanced home optimization without additional system complexity.
