Tibo Energy

Energy that runs itself, within the limits you set. Tibo turns live asset data into automatic energy decisions – keeping commercial sites and energy hubs running within their grid limits, without manual steering.

Tibo Energy builds software that automates energy management for commercial sites and energy hubs. We turn live data from solar, batteries, EV charging and grid connections into automatic decisions — so sites stay within their grid limits and get the most out of every kilowatt, without anyone steering it by hand.

Most operators run their energy across a patchwork of dashboards and manual rules. Tibo brings that together into one view and one decision layer: real-time control for the technical team, accessible reporting for finance and sustainability, and automated operation that always acts within the boundaries you set.

The connection to live asset data through Withthegrid gives Tibo the foundation to move from monitoring to autonomous operation. The result is energy that runs itself — within limits you stay in control of.

Running a full supermarket on 57 kW: smart control inside a capacity-constrained grid connection

Customer

Hoogvliet Supermarkten (Dutch supermarket chain).

The situation

Assets: Solar PV, a 215 kWh battery (Fox ESS), 10 EV charging points, a heat pump.

The store sits in a renovated historic building (a former auction hall, taken from energy label F to A+++++). Grid congestion capped the connection at just 57 kW — not enough to start the store conventionally, since essential systems couldn’t run simultaneously. The site also has a large PV array.

The challenge: get the most out of the existing connection without reinforcing it.

What was built

A combination of high-spec assets under central control, all balanced within the 57 kW limit: a 215 kWh battery, 10 charging points, a heat pump and the PV array, orchestrated by Tibo EMS. The Withthegrid Teleport provided the connectivity layer feeding live data into the system.

Technical realisation by Waterman Installatietechniek; battery supplied by Brenergie.

The result

The supermarket runs entirely within its 57 kW contracted capacity — opened without any grid reinforcement, with the connection used optimally and self-generated PV combined with storage and active control. Improved forecasting and a dynamic energy contract optimise consumption further. In the customer’s words: it runs smoothly and no shopper notices a thing.

"Grid congestion meant that, for the first time, we didn't have enough power to start up a store. We looked for a smart, efficient solution and chose Brenergie's EOS and Tibo's EMS — so we use our grid connection optimally and combine it intelligently with the energy from our large PV array."

20,000 kWh more solar self-consumption a year at a stroopwafel bakery

Customer

Markus & Markus

The situation

Rooftop solar PV and a 233 kWh / 100 kW battery (RCT Power CESS 261) with integrated BMS

Markus & Markus had a strong rooftop PV array, but generation didn’t line up with demand on the production floor. Part of the solar energy was fed back to the grid while electricity still had to be bought in at other moments. Internal demand fluctuated with peaks that drove up total energy costs, and rising price volatility widened the gap between when energy was available and when it was needed.

They wanted to use their own generation better, cut peak consumption and get more grip as part of a wider move toward electrification and decarbonisation.

What was built

Building on the existing PV, the on-site system was extended with storage and live control. Partner Ecopowercell installed an RCT Power CESS 261 (a 233 kWh / 100 kW battery with integrated BMS) at the Waddinxveen site, with Tibo EMS steering generation, consumption and grid use in real time, connected via the Withthegrid Teleport. Solar energy not used directly in production is stored in the battery; the EMS decides when to charge and discharge based on prices, generation and consumption.

The result

Markus & Markus now uses roughly 20,000 kWh more of its own solar energy per year, cutting CO₂ emissions by around 8,000 kg annually. In daily practice: higher on-site use of PV generation, lower energy costs through higher self-consumption, a more stable consumption profile with fewer peaks, and room for further decarbonisation steps.

"We now use 20,000 kWh more of our own solar energy each year. That equals the consumption of six households, and the CO₂ reduction of 8,000 kg compares to the annual absorption of 400 trees."
