Layer 01/ electricity

Low-cost
green electricity.

Intrastate and ISTS solar and wind, rooftop solar, storage and green-market purchase — contracted and dispatched together so the landed cost falls, not just the headline tariff.

The problem/ as plants actually meet it

Most industrial renewable procurement is sized against an annual consumption number and a headline ex-bus tariff. Neither is what you pay. Open access charges, banking terms and the fifteen-minute matching of generation to load decide the landed cost — and a portfolio sized without them routinely generates units the plant cannot consume, which are paid for anyway.

How it works/ in delivery order

What we
actually do.

Plan against metered load

Bills, load survey, rooftop and captive parameters. Solar, wind, hybrid, BESS and exchange electricity optimised together, capex or opex, with each state's ToD, banking and open access charges in the landed-cost model.

Implement the contract

Open access approvals, connection agreement, scheduling registration and ABT metering at the incomer. The regulatory work is the project; the panels are the easy part.

Meter every source

ABT metering and data loggers on every source and every load, so the position is measured block by block rather than reconciled annually.

Orchestrate the mix

ergOS schedules the portfolio against price and the production plan — including moving heat pump load into the cheapest, greenest blocks.

Boundaries/ where this stops

What it
does not do.

Matching, not capacity

Renewable share is capped by what you consume in the block it arrives, not by what you contract. Beyond roughly 60% of a round-the-clock load, more capacity spills rather than substitutes; storage or a different solar–wind balance is what moves it further.

State by state

Open access economics are set by state regulation and change year to year. A case that works in one state can be marginal in the next, and banking rules in particular move.

You choose who owns it

Capacity can be yours (capex), funded by us and paid from measured savings (ESCO), or bought by the unit under a long-term electricity agreement (Electricity-as-a-Service). The structure changes the charges, so it is chosen with the business case, not before it.

What we need/ to start

  • Twelve months of electricity bills
  • Contract demand and tariff category
  • A load profile at fifteen-minute resolution if available
  • Roof area and structural notes for behind-the-meter solar
  • Existing captive or open access contracts

What drives the economics/ the real levers

  • Landed cost per kWh, not ex-bus tariff
  • Open access charges: wheeling, banking, cross-subsidy, additional surcharge
  • Capacity utilisation factor by resource and site
  • The share of generation you can actually consume
  • Grid emission factor, which decides whether electrification cuts carbon

Questions/ asked most often

Will this raise my renewable share to 100%?
Not on open access alone. Generation only counts when it lands in a block you are consuming, which caps a round-the-clock industrial load near 60% before storage. Storage and a mixed solar–wind profile raise it further; the last few percent are usually the most expensive and are worth questioning.
What happens to the DISCOM connection?
It stays, as backup and as the route to the exchange. The aim is to make the grid a market rather than a supplier, not to disconnect from it.
Do we need capital?
No. We can fund it: under ESCO we invest and are paid from the measured savings, and under Electricity-as-a-Service you pay per unit below grid tariff. Capex is there if you would rather own the assets.

In short/ Renewable energy transition

Renewable energy transition is jouleWise's electricity solution: contract and orchestrate green supply against your actual load profile.

Intrastate and ISTS solar and wind, rooftop solar, storage and green-market purchase — contracted and dispatched together so the landed cost falls, not just the headline tariff.
