Node.energy: Managing decentralised energy systems
Founded by Matthias Karger and Lars Rinn in 2016, node.energy is working on a sustainable energy future.
The company provides a SaaS solution, “opti.node”, for professional operators of renewable energy systems.
The platform enables direct power transactions between producers and medium-sized enterprises, eliminating middlemen and red tape.
By cutting out bureaucratic inefficiencies, node.energy delivers higher revenues for renewable energy operators and lower electricity costs for businesses and end consumers.
In 2024, the company introduced functionality allowing SMEs to directly source clean energy from producers.
Currently, the company’s technology is already deployed across more than 14,000 wind and solar (PV) plants. The tool now supports roughly one-third of Germany’s commercial green electricity operations.
“What is particularly important to us is transparency. Anyone who understands how much electricity costs or is worth when they recognises the value of flexibility and invest in storage and smart use. And this is exactly what makes the energy transition a locational advantage and resilience booster for the German economy,” says the company.
