E-world Essen, February 12, 2026 – Successful energy management requires specialization in two distinct areas: financial strategy in the cloud, and physical control on site. Today, Emmett GreenEmmett Green is an innovative company accelerating the energy transition by combining deep knowledge of electrical engineering, heat, and hydrogen with financing and IT. The company designs, finances, and manages complex energy projects – such as (neighborhood) batteries, private networks, and hydrogen installations – for grid operators, investors, and industry. With its proprietary Energy Management Software (EMS), Emmett Green optimizes asset management to avoid congestion and maximize returns on the energy markets. and WiththegridIf you don’t know us: Withthegrid’s mission is to deliver technology that enables a connected, secure, and resilient energy ecosystem. We do it via the Teleport Gateway, a local controller that securely connects renewable energy assets to the cloud, unlocking real-time remote control and local optimization for asset owners and traders. are announcing a partnership that brings these specialized layers into an integrated solution.

Connecting local limits to financial markets

Grid congestion often forces asset owners to manage strict physical constraints at their connection points. At the same time, varying asset use and volatile electricity markets offer revenue opportunities through balancing and congestion markets — but only if assets can respond quickly and safely.

This partnership addresses both sides of the equation by linking two specialized technology layers:

• Emmett Green provides the independent cloud-based Energy Management Software (EMS) required to trade on electricity markets, including balancing and congestion markets. Their in-house algorithms use external forecasts to automate trades in real-time. Every minute, the system updates asset setpoints to reflect market strategy, asset availability, and grid limits. The user can also get an overview through a dashboard that provides clear, detailed insights into their asset management.
• Withthegrid’s Teleport acts on-site as a secure, independent controller. It connects batteries, solar inverters, and other equipment to the cloud while enforcing local safety rules. Its local intelligence manages both market response and behind-the-meter optimization (e.g. peak shaving, self-consumption optimization, and cable pooling). These strategies run continuously in the background, ensuring assets operate efficiently whether or not market trading is active.

Why this matters for C&I energy projects, energy hubs and private grids

This collaboration offers a way to manage grid bottlenecks through active local control and smart trading.

• Speed to market: Because the Teleport supports over 450 different asset types, technical integration for new projects is reduced from months to days.
• Revenue maximization: Sub-second signal transmission enables participation in high-value frequency regulation markets (FCR, aFRR).
• Full compliance: The solution is ISO 27001 certified and aligns with strict European cybersecurity requirements (NIS2, RED3.3). It also meets the Realtime Interface (RTI) requirements for DSO compliance.

A shared vision for technical sovereignty

Michiel Roelofs, Managing Director at Emmett Green, highlights the need for a reliable technical foundation:

As Emmett Green aims to speed up the energy transition by engineering, financing, and operating energy projects, selecting the right gateway partner is essential. The Teleport provides the secure and reliable solution we were looking for, combined with a responsive operations team that understands the technical needs of our projects.

Paul Mignot, CEO of Withthegrid, focuses on user control:

Withthegrid provides digital energy freedom, allowing asset owners to remain independent and in control of their assets. Emmett Green provides full-service value-stacking solutions to corporations and developers. Using behind-the-meter optimization, balancing, and congestion management together provides the best possible outcome for the end customer.

The bottom line

By integrating Emmett Green’s optimization software with Withthegrid’s on-site gateway, the partnership provides a clear path for Dutch and European businesses to manage a constrained grid. Together, they ensure that renewable energy assets are not just connected, but are active, secure, and profitable contributors to the energy ecosystem.
