As dynamic electricity tariffs move from niche offerings to a core part of modern energy retail, utilities are under growing pressure to deliver more than just variable pricing. Customers increasingly expect automated optimization, transparent billing, and seamless digital experiences that help them actively manage their energy consumption.
To support this shift, exnaton and clever-PV have launched a live plug-and-play integration that connects customer-specific tariffs directly with intelligent home energy management (HEMS).
The interface is now live and enables utilities to combine real-time tariff signals with automated device control — without complex custom integrations or major IT projects.
In most cases dynamic tariffs only create impact when customers can actually respond to changing electricity prices. Therefore expecting customers to manually adjust their behaviour — monitoring and constantly optimizing charging schedules, heat pumps, or household consumption — is mostly unrealistic for households. Behavioral demand-side-management simply doesn't scale in practice.
This is where the integration between exnaton and clever-PV comes in.
exnaton provides the intelligence layer for modern energy products, enabling utilities to launch and bill dynamic tariffs, prosumer offerings, and energy-sharing models on top of existing ERP and billing systems.
clever-PV complements this with intelligent home energy management that automatically optimizes devices based on electricity price signals. Taken together, this creates a coordinated system in which the connection to the electricity market runs via the chosen tariff, and all components in the chain (tariff logic, billing, HEMS, and assets) must be included for effective flexibility management.
Together, the integration creates a seamless ecosystem where:
One of the biggest barriers to launching smart energy products is integration complexity. Utilities often face fragmented systems, long implementation timelines, and costly development projects when connecting tariff engines with external energy management platforms. The integration between exnaton and clever-PV is designed to remove this friction.
Together with a joint customer – a leading municipal utility in Germany providing modern, market-driven solutions across electricity, gas, heat, water, telecommunications, electromobility, and smart services – exnaton and clever-PV have successfully connected dynamic electricity pricing with automated home energy management through a now-live interface.
Through the integration, dynamic tariff price signals provided via exnaton’s platform can be seamlessly transferred into clever-PV’s energy management environment, enabling automated optimization of household energy consumption based on real-time electricity prices.
This allows end customers to automatically optimize devices such as EV chargers, heat pumps, or other flexible household assets without needing to manually react to changing market prices.
For utilities, the project shows how dynamic tariffs and smart energy management can be deployed together via a scalable and plug-and-play integration approach — that reduces implementation complexity while accelerating innovation and customer value.
The successful go-live also reflects a broader market trend: utilities are increasingly looking for integrated ecosystems that combine dynamic pricing, automated flexibility and transparent billing into one seamless customer experience.
As electricity markets become more volatile and decentralized, utilities need digital infrastructure that supports flexible consumption and automated demand response at scale.
By combining dynamic pricing, automated optimization, and transparent billing, exnaton and clever-PV help utilities move beyond basic tariff offerings toward fully integrated energy experiences.
The partnership also supports broader industry goals:
The collaboration between exnaton and clever-PV reflects a broader shift happening across the energy industry: from static electricity supply toward intelligent, automated, and customer-driven energy ecosystems.
With the integration now live and plug-and-play ready, utilities can take another step toward delivering scalable flexibility solutions that combine dynamic tariffs, automation, and seamless customer experiences in one connected platform.
