When asked what EcoSMEnergy offers to SMEs, Janis emphasised the importance of energy monitoring and high-quality data. Understanding energy consumption patterns enables companies to make better decisions, identify efficiency opportunities, and prepare for emerging challenges and opportunities linked to electrification.

As the energy system evolves, businesses may benefit from new possibilities such as participating in grid-balancing mechanisms.
