In dieser deutschsprachigen Sonderausgabe von „Watt's up with energy?“ übergibt Georgia das Mikrofon an die Energieexperten Marco Rues und Carsten Schäfer, um einen tiefen Einblick in die EnWG-Novelle und ihre Auswirkungen auf die erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland zu geben. Sie diskutieren Themen wie die Rolle digitaler Netzanschlusspunkte, neue Regeln für die Begrenzung der Energieeinspeisung und wie die aktualisierte Verordnung, insbesondere § 9 des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes (EEG), das Netz angesichts der zunehmenden PV-Installationen stabilisieren soll.

What do airbags and energy grids have in common? In this episode, Theben Smart Energy’s Head of Sales, Tina Hadler, joins us to keep breaking down §14a EnWG plus the role of smart meters and how grid stability depends on demand-side flexibility. Listen now to learn how load shifting, EMS and smart energy solutions are shaping the future of decentralized energy management.

Join host Georgia Knapp as she dives into Germany's energy transition with PPC founder Ingo Schönberg. Explore the role of smart meter gateways and paragraph 14A of the Energy Industry Act. Learn how flexibility, digitalization and utility collaboration are driving the future of renewable integration, e-mobility and heat pumps. Discover why “make software, not hardware” is the key to scaling energy solutions.

Following the previous episode, Nicolai Stickler continues unpacking the ins and outs of Paragraph 14a, Germany's energy regulation that aims to give the energy transition a big push forward. From smart meters to dynamic grid fees, discover more about this policy's challenges, opportunities and its pivotal role in ensuring grid stability and the future of the German energy ecosystem.

“Watt's up with energy?” kicks off 2025 talking about a hot energy topic: Paragraph 14a of the Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz). Host Georgia sits down with gridX’s Senior Ecosystem Manager, Nicolai Stickler, to discuss Germany’s latest regulation designed to stabilize the grid while accelerating the adoption of EVs, heat pumps and smart energy systems. Learn how it works, its goals and why energy management systems (EMS) are key to navigating this change.

This episode welcomes Baptiste Feron and Robert Fritzsche, two energy experts who have experienced scaling a home energy management system (HEMS) from its early startup days to current scale-up phase. They discuss the technical and organizational challenges of building a robust, flexible energy management system (EMS) capable of integrating with diverse energy assets while navigating regional regulations and market demands. Their conversation highlights the importance of adaptability, collaboration with hardware partners and maintaining a mission-driven approach to support the renewable energy transition.

Global Head of Product at Soly, Thijmen van Nijnanten, joins Georgia to explore the future of energy management and distributed energy resources. He shares insights into Soly’s evolution from a solar energy provider to a comprehensive energy solutions company. Find out what it’s like to enter new markets like South Africa and Germany, the impact of dynamic energy tariffs and the exciting innovations empowering homeowners to take control of their energy usage.
