The transition to Net Zero presents an exciting opportunity for businesses to maximise the value of their renewable energy investments. Through intelligent energy optimisation, organisations can accelerate their payback periods, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue streams—making sustainability a strategic and financial advantage.
However, accessing and leveraging these cutting-edge solutions that make sustainability both financially and operationally viable can be complex, especially when, for many organisations, these opportunities present a relatively new aspect of decarbonisation.
That’s why HI Group is excited to announce a new partnership with GridBeyond, a global technology leader in energy flexibility and optimisation. Through this collaboration, we are bringing businesses an innovative way to drive a smarter, more profitable path to decarbonisation.
Let’s explore how the new energy landscape brings opportunities for profitable decarbonisation within reach—and why smart energy optimisation should be the cornerstone of today’s energy management strategies.
As the energy transition has seen grids worldwide evolve from legacy power stations, grid operators face an increasing challenge: balancing supply and demand in real time.
The rise of renewables has introduced greater variability into the energy system, requiring smarter, more responsive solutions to prevent instability and ensure reliability.
Why? Traditional grid infrastructure was built around predictable, centralised power generation.
However, with wind and solar energy playing a dominant role, grid imbalances are more frequent and complex to manage. A cloudy day or a sudden drop in wind speed can lead to supply shortfalls, while excess renewable generation can overload the system if not efficiently distributed.
This unpredictability creates a need for flexible energy solutions that help stabilise the grid while ensuring businesses get the most out of their renewable assets.
HI Group’s MRV services already provide clients with real-time insights and optimised energy consumption, ensuring businesses cut waste and lower costs. Now, with the added integration of GridBeyond’s AI-powered platform, clients can take their energy strategies even further—leveraging market opportunities to generate revenue from surplus energy, reducing payback times and improving overall profitability
With energy costs fluctuating and demand-side flexibility becoming increasingly valuable, the ability to intelligently dispatch energy into the right market at the right time is a game-changer for businesses looking to cut costs and enhance sustainability performance.
By integrating distributed energy resources (DERs)—including renewable generation, battery storage, and industrial loads—GridBeyond enables businesses to optimise their energy assets for maximum efficiency, financial return, and sustainability impact.
Demand-Side Response (DSR)
Businesses can automatically adjust their energy consumption in response to grid signals, shifting or reducing demand when needed to help balance supply and demand. This not only supports grid stability but also generates revenue for participants.
Real-Time Energy Dispatch
GridBeyond’s AI-driven platform ensures that excess energy is intelligently dispatched into the right market at the right time, maximising value for businesses and ensuring grid stability.
Revenue Generation
By participating in flexibility markets, businesses can monetise their energy assets, unlocking new income streams while contributing to a more stable, sustainable grid.
With HI Group’s expertise in project financing, installation, ongoing system management, and proprietary MRV software, combined with GridBeyond’s revenue generating solution, we are empowering businesses to lock in long-term energy security and cost savings to their decarbonisation strategies.
By leveraging intelligent demand-side response, AI-driven forecasting, and real-time market participation, businesses can now take full control of their energy strategy—transforming sustainability from a challenge into a financial opportunity.
At HI Group, we believe that sustainability should be simple, achievable, and financially sound: partnering with GridBeyond’s AI-powered technology, we’re taking energy performance to the next level.
