Product Update: Real-Time Data Integration & More Flexible Electricity Rates

We’re introducing two updates that give utilities deeper operational insight and greater flexibility in designing energy products: real-time data integration and customizable electricity rates. Both features support smarter decision-making, more efficient operations, and more innovative offerings for end customers.

‍

1. Real-Time Data Integration for Smarter Insights and Faster Decisions

Real-time energy data is becoming essential for utilities that want to optimize their processes and respond quickly to changing conditions.
exnaton now integrates with a broad range of smart devices, including:

• solar inverters
• electric vehicles
• home batteries

These devices can stream real-time data directly into your exnaton dashboards.

‍

How it works

Real-time values provide an initial estimate of production and consumption. As more precise metering data is received from DSOs, the system continuously refines these values.

‍

What this enables

• Lower operational costs through faster detection of abnormal patterns
• Improved demand-response strategies based on live usage and production
• Earlier detection of issues, improving service quality
• More informed procurement decisions, supported by up-to-date portfolio insights

Real-time data brings greater transparency and enables you to operate with increased accuracy—benefiting both your internal workflows and your customers.

2. Customizable Electricity Rates for Maximum Flexibility

‍

Utilities can now design electricity rates that precisely match their customer segments, business models, and production portfolios.

Dynamic Price Adjustment

Provide exnaton with a real-time price signal or a day-ahead forecast from your production assets.
We automatically use this data to adjust your tariff pricing dynamically, enabling adaptive pricing that aligns with market or portfolio conditions.

‍

Consumption- or Injection-Based Pricing

Define your own pricing formula that changes depending on:

• the customer’s total consumption, or
• the amount of energy they feed back into the grid

This gives you a flexible way to incentivize behavior, differentiate between customer groups, and reflect actual grid or portfolio costs.

‍

Why this matters

• More options for product differentiation
• Pricing aligned with real operational realities
• Better tools to respond to volatility in the energy market
• Custom tariff structures without complex manual configuration

These features make it easier to build innovative rates that match your strategic goals and deliver value to end customers.
