Shaping the future of energy through renewable energy hubs
Colibrie revolutionises the way renewable private energy hubs operate and scale. Its innovative software solutions empower energy hubs to simplify their setup and streamline their management, making sustainable energy accessible to more people. Through a two-phase business model, colibrie delivers immediate value to individuals and communities while unlocking the vast potential of household energy data for long-term innovation.
In Phase 1, colibrie offers colibrie LAUNCH, which manages the entire launch process for private energy hubs, including contract drafting, tariff setting, informational workshops, and more. The colibrie MANAGE software provides essential tools for the day-to-day operations of energy hubs, including automated billing, member management, and energy analytics, enabling hubs to grow.
Phase 2 focuses on the transformative power of data. By aggregating and anonymizing household-level energy data, colibrie enables new insights into consumption patterns and offers value to other players in the energy sector, such as utilities, EV companies, and energy researchers. This data forms the foundation for colibrie COMPANION, an AI-powered energy assistant that provides households with personalized energy insights and cost-saving recommendations.
With colibrie, the company is not just building a business but shaping the way communities and individuals interact with energy in the 21st century.
