Environment
Software solutions contribute to the energy transition
Our systems lie at the core of overlapping megatrends such as, energy transition & electrification, digitalization, urbanization, and cybersecurity. Data plays a major role in making these a reality.
While data is needed for ensuring and managing the supply of energy, it’s more and more a tool for new services and products that rely on real-time consumption data. As consumers’ awareness increases, automation will play a large role in optimising electricity consumption, for example. Data and automation can therefore contribute to increased energy efficiency through more intelligent systems.
SDG
Committed to advancing sustainable development goals

Also, we are involved in research and development projects that shape the clean energy markets of tomorrow.
12 Responsible consumption and production
Our solutions support the uptake of data-driven services that can shape consumers’ electricity tracking and use. As more data is available, new services for electricity optimization and automation is possible.
Digitalization and climate impact
Digitalization is accelerating globally, driving digital transformation but also contributing to climate change. This surge in digital activity demands more energy, leading to increased emissions. As an ICT operator, our primary sources of operational emissions are electricity and heating.
A significant challenge we face is the rapid growth of data traffic. Developments in the energy market, such as digitalization, 15-minute metering, and near real-time data traffic, are expected to substantially increase the data handled by Enerim’s systems. This will lead to higher energy consumption both in the short and long term.
