OUR PURPOSE

A world running on carbon neutral energy.

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our times but today's power grid is not built for the uncertain and decentral nature of renewable energy. We envision a future where all energy resources are connected to make renewable energy accessible and affordable for everyone.

Our Mission

We provide the world's most advanced platform to build impactful energy solutions.

We build the infrastructure to enable the energy transition. With XENON anyone can monitor and control distributed energy resources. Thereby, we enable our partners to build renewable energy solutions quicker than ever.
