Smappee opens Dutch branch
NAARDEN, 21 November 2024 – Smappee, the Belgian market leader in energy management and smart charging solutions, has opened its first physical office in the Netherlands today in the city of Naarden. Smappee has been active in the Dutch market for several years already and wants to further strengthen its position there as an authority in energy management, storage and charging. The company is looking to at least double its revenue in the Netherlands in two years. The Netherlands is and will remain an important growth market as demand for EVs continues to rise. In addition, the electricity market is also facing increasing grid congestion problems, which is limiting industrial development in many places. Smappee offers a solution for this with intelligent energy control technology and smart charging stations for homes and offices.
The Netherlands: Europe’s leader in EV adoption
The current energy challenges in the Dutch market, such as grid congestion, make this the perfect time for Smappee to strengthen its presence there.
“Our smart energy management system Smappee Infinity relieves the pressure on the grid through optimal planning of energy flows so that green energy is deployed as much as possible in a cost-efficient way. This also optimises investment in charging infrastructure for the user and makes e-mobility feasible for private and industrial users.”
Kurt Vandeputte, Smappee CEO
Smappee’s forward-looking and integrated solutions respond to the challenges of the energy transition. They have catapulted the company into an accelerated growth phase. The organisation is also rapidly expanding in other focus regions, such as Germany, France and the United States.
Charging station with Artificial Intelligence
Smappee uses AI-analysed data to dynamically match energy consumption with the available solar power or cheapest expected tariff. This reduces our energy consumption and is better for the environment and people’s wallets. The Smappee ecosystem can control the smart appliances in your business or home, such as your EV charging station, heat pump, air conditioner, washing machine, tumble dryer, … The intuitive and user-friendly app always shows you the exact consumption of these appliances and smartly controls one or more appliances simultaneously according to the user’s preferences (based on the indicated comfort level or optimal cost). Another unique advantage is that the Smappee app allows you to effortlessly transfer excess energy from your solar panels to your charging station or other electrical appliances.
Smappee also offers many advantages for businesses. Marco Nederveen, Regional Sales Manager The Netherlands & Nordics: “Many Dutch companies are struggling to accelerate their fleet electrification and keep their core processes operational at the same time because grid reinforcement is not possible. We see this for passenger cars but also in construction, logistics and shipping, where functionality and service standards are high. They now realise that energy management is key in any future-proof solution to meet growing demand for smart charging stations, energy storage and energy management.”
Smart, stylish and sustainable
Smappee is smart, stylish and sustainable. Smappee’s range of charging stations has already won design awards such as the ‘Red Dot: Best of the Best’ and ‘iF Design’ award. Its production is sustainable thanks to the use of 100% recyclable aluminium. The charging stations have a minimalist design, are very intuitive and easy to use and can be installed on driveways as well as large car parks and business parks.
Reliable partner for installers
Smappee is also planning to expand its network of certified installers in the Netherlands.
