- AI compute is scaling fast. Is that a problem for the grid, or a flexible load we can actually use? That debate ran through our first The Open Problem, and the full piece is now on our blog. Three threads from the room: 1) The compute behind AI isn't slowing down, and the sovereignty and scaling questions that come with it. 2) Data centers as grid-aware, flexible load, and why that flexibility is harder to tap than it looks. 3) High-frequency trading for grid-scale batteries, where re-optimising on every order-book update, not
- We’re proud to be a sponsor of Future of Utilities: Smart Energy in London, 2 to 3 November. On 2 November at 14:45, our Founder & CEO Jan-Willem takes the Green Stage to talk about what it takes to trade millions of distributed assets as one battery. Andrew and Daniel will be at the Beebop booth both days. Come and say hello. See you in London. #FoUSmartEnergy26 #EnergyFlexibility #DistributedEnergy
- Yesterday we hosted The Open Problem in Ghent! A small, closed room with energy trading desks and the researchers working on the same problems from the other side. Three statements, then open discussion: Ana Radovanovic (Google) on data centres as grid-aware, flexible load. Jan Fostier (imec) on the hardware reshaping AI data centres. David Schaurecker (ETH Zürich) on high-frequency trading for grid-scale BESS. Around the table: trading desks from the likes of Centrica, ENGIE, Luminus, Entrix, and Ignitis Group with the

- When taking decisions we sometimes can’t see the forest for the trees- both parts are needed, the trick is knowing which one a specific situation needs Developing technology based solutions (Beebop / Swisscom / Qvantum International ) we have to decide continuously between the development of additional technical features which e.g. open up new market potential or secure a customer and the workload of teams, defined roadmaps and allocated resources. Stepping close you can easily get lost in milestones, individual workload mapping
- Another EMS integration is live. Beebop is now integrated with NEXXTLAB, the energy management specialist behind the Smartmaster range. It's a new route onto the platform. Instead of connecting device by device, a single integration with Nexxtlab's on-site EMS brings every asset behind it (inverters, batteries, charging points, and more) into Beebop, whatever the brand. What this means in practice: - Energy suppliers can onboard residential and commercial sites already running Nexxtlab, with no additional hardware or
- AENU has named our CEO and co-founder Jan-Willem Rombouts one of 20 founders they believe will build the next generation of Europe's leading climate companies. The recognition, Tomorrow's Champions, is part of The Execution Game, AENU's new study with Green Executives on the founders behind Europe's 100 best-funded climate companies. Flexibility is becoming the most valuable resource in the power system. Beebop helps energy suppliers and utilities orchestrate customer devices (EVs, batteries, heat pumps, and solar) into a
