Data-driven decisions for public energy infrastructure
Analyze grid capacity, model energy hubs and justify public investments with objective, transparent analyses.
How to work through a group of businesses in Wattix
How do you back up a decision on a business park, or on a group of businesses that want to grow on the grid together? With a 15-minute calculation of what the businesses consume and generate together, and what storage, EV charging or a different limit changes about it. Wattix works through those scenarios independently of any vendor, so the council and the businesses involved see which assumptions a choice rests on.
- What you put in
- Each business's 15-minute meter data, or a Data Studio profile where there is no meter data yet, as with new buildings. Then the connection limit you want to test for the group and the assets you want to examine: solar panels, batteries, charge points and generators.
- What Wattix calculates
- Wattix places the businesses as loads behind one shared connection and works through the energy flows in 15-minute steps. Storage is dispatched at the lowest cost within the limits of that connection. Every calculation uses the same method and gives the same outcome for the same input. It is a high-level analysis: what the group needs together, not how it splits across separate connections or a group transport agreement.
- What comes out
- For each scenario the group's peaks, the days with an exceedance, import and export, the self-sufficiency and the costs. With the comparison and the report you record what a choice rests on, for the council and for the businesses involved.

What our customers say
“We don't just create one analysis, but one for each phase of the customer's growth path. That way we're already advising them on what to install now to be significantly cheaper by 2035.”
“The simulations we received through intermediaries always felt commercially driven. We provide technical, substantive advice based on the client's situation, not based on our own commercial interest. That's why we wanted our own simulation tool and found what we were looking for in Wattix.”
“Our clients want to grow. Extra warehouses, machines, production lines. But they can't get additional capacity from the grid operator. Wattix helps us show what's still possible within their existing connection.”
