Challenge
The path to building a sustainable, renewables-first energy grid
starts at home, with a commitment to making ‘Everything Electric’.
For us all to ‘stop burning stuff’, we need to focus on
powering the devices and appliances in our lives with electrical energy instead of using fossil fuel based
energy sources.
Our grid energy retailers are also evolving, with the emergence of a new breed
of retailer that offers access to the real underlying, dynamic, cost of buying
and selling energy on the grid.
Our homes are turning into resilient and flexible power stations, through the
installation of solar and battery energy storage systems.
Electric Vehicles let us power our personal transport with renewable energy (both
from the grid and from our own rooftops).
Our houses contain electrical devices that consume energy, and the larger ones (like air conditioners, hot water heaters and pool pumps) can be controlled so they do their work at an optimal time each day.
The challenge with all of these disparate Distributed Energy Resources is to dynamically control them in a holistic and intelligent way, to increase overall energy efficiency and (as a result) reduce your monthly energy bills on an enduring basis.
The Solution

Energy Autopilot is a startup dedicated
to bringing all the pieces of the renewable energy puzzle together
in your home and office.
Our mission is to substantially reduce your monthly energy bills
while also making your home or office an active contributor to the
creation of the renewables-first, sustainable, low-carbon energy
grid.
To achieve this, we are developing an easy to use, multi-vendor, multi-retailer
platform that integrates, optimises and automates energy flows between
the various Distributed Energy Resources in your home and office.
A ’traditional’ Virtual Power Plant (“VPP”) service typically requires you to hand over complete control over how your battery and solar work, to a third party who aggregates your capacity in to their overall network of users. They set the operating rules, and they are the primary beneficiaries (technical and financial) of the outcome - not you!
Our VPP functionality gives you direct agency over the way that the assets you own can work for your benefit. Our smart automation and predictive services will give you a great result ‘out of the box’… but if you want to change how your system works, to better suit your individual preferences or requirements - we’ll let you do that!
In addition to “VPP” functionality (dynamic control over battery and solar resources), Energy Autopilot will control and optimise the energy consumption and operating cycles of on-site energy demands such as EV Chargers, HVAC systems, Hot Water Heaters, and Pool Pumps.
Investment in an on-site battery of sufficient size can create an
additional opportunity to further reduce your monthly energy bills by buying energy when the cost
is low, and selling it back to the grid (at a net profit) when the grid
needs it most.
Many traditional VPP’s make money for the VPP operator in this way, using the battery you paid for, to do it. Our service will create the opportunity to make money for you instead of making money for your VPP operator!

We are developing our platform now, informed by successful internal
testing in a variety of real-world scenarios that have proven to us that
this… works.
The initial commercial release of our platform will be in Australia,
with other countries to follow.
We invite you to sign up to our mailing list for updates on our
development path, and for opportunities to join the beta test programme
as we work toward full commercial release.
