Sympower

Sympower is a Dutch energy-flexibility company founded in 2015 by Simon Bushell and Georg Rute and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was built to help industrial and commercial electricity users unlock revenue from balancing and demand-response markets while helping grid operators keep supply and demand in equilibrium as renewable generation grows.

Its software platform connects to a client’s electrical assets, including production lines, HVAC systems, batteries and on-site generation, to bid available flexibility into transmission system operator markets and to manage real-time imbalance and congestion through its Symbalance service. Sympower operates across ten European countries and serves clients in sectors such as chemicals, cement, metallurgy, agriculture, pulp and paper, and data centers.

1. Flexibility aggregation: The platform pools multiple client assets into a single portfolio bid into TSO balancing markets.

2. Symbalance service: Provides real-time management of grid imbalance and local congestion for connected assets.

3. Multi-sector reach: Serves industrial clients in chemicals, cement, metallurgy, agriculture and pulp and paper.

4. Revenue pass-through: Clients receive TSO compensation for participation, minus a service commission.

5. European footprint: The platform runs across ten European electricity markets.
