Energy Community Software for Local Energy Transition

Platform for peer-to-peer energy sharing and community management

Enable your customers to share solar surpluses locally, form electricity communities and benefit together from renewable energy.

Energy Community Software Platform for Renewable Energy Sharing

The future of energy supply is decentralized

More and more people produce their own solar power. The surplus is often fed into the grid – at low rates. Energy communities enable local energy sharing instead: neighbors, companies or residential quarters share excess energy directly with each other. This reduces costs, strengthens regional value creation and accelerates the energy transition.

Our Energy Community Platform

Craftum develops the software infrastructure for local energy communities. From community formation to real-time monitoring to automated billing – all from one source.

Community Management: Member administration, onboarding, contract management
Energy Sharing: Peer-to-peer electricity trading in real-time
Smart Metering: Integration of smart meters and IoT sensors
Automatic Billing: Fair distribution, grid fees, settlement
Visualization: Dashboards for members and administrators
Regulation: Compliance with energy laws and metering regulations
