Beoga has chosen to pilot its “Smart Lou Quila” project in Le Cailar, a village in the Gard department, in partnership with Enedis and Planet Oui, the 100% renewable energy supplier. The official inauguration of the pilot project will take place this Friday, March 26, 2021. “Smart Lou Quila” is an energy community being tested on a housing development with six neighbors and a sports facility that share 100% renewable and local electricity.This energy comes from photovoltaic panels (five installations for 18 kWp) installed on the roofs of the neighborhood and the municipal stadium. In addition, three storage systems (stationary batteries of 10 kWh each) and two electric vehicles (V2G – Vehicle to Grid) are initially participating in this ecosystem supporting the ecological transition. Managed renewable and mobile energy Thanks to an interface, community members will be able to manage their energy consumption and production in near real-time. By developing specific algorithms, the Beoga ecosystem reveals untapped energy, manages it, and shares it with everyone.
“Our solution optimizes collective self-consumption and the exchange of electricity between individuals,” explains Amaury Pachurka, President of Beoga. “It also makes it possible to mobilize energy resources not yet exploited by users and share them with the entire grid.”
Beoga aims to offer a new economic model in energy distribution and supply by placing users at the heart of the value chain. Ultimately, this solution will reduce energy bills by 15% and inject 20% of renewable energy by also offering grid services.
About Beoga Born out of the ReTC.io project, which won an award in Singapore in 2018, Beoga was created in October 2019. Its goal? To deploy an ecosystem for energy community operators (supply managers, aggregators, local authorities, associations, and developers) to maximize energy production and consumption and promote the ecological transition. The development of this ecosystem is based on three pillars: –Energy efficiency : By combining optimal production and consumption with a set of resources, environmental and production costs are significantly reduced. –Services and networks
: The sharing and pooling of resources, such as production and storage, allows for the creation of new energy value. This reduces production costs, allowing operators to maximize the new services they have and their existing infrastructure. – New mobility: Beoga is a key player in green mobility with its current “Vehicle to Grid” project, whose ambition is to “make energy portable, transferable, and exchangeable without the need for heavy infrastructure.” Beoga has been awarded the “Greentech Innovation” label by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the DERBI label by the competitiveness cluster of the same name. It joined the Cleantech Booster accelerator at the end of 2020 and was recently a finalist in the Inn’ovations competition organized in the Occitanie region. Beoga had already won the Energaia trophies in 2019.
The innovations led by Beoga are based on a strong commitment to the green transition. Thanks to the development of projects such as the “Smart Lou Quila” and “Vehicle to Grid” energy communities, a new way of producing and consuming energy is available to everyone. With Beoga, “love your neighbor.”
