For the first time, wind and solar generate more electricity in the EU than fossil fuels, according to Ember.
This is a major achievement. It is also a structural shift in how electricity behaves.

The energy transition is happening at grid level — but it will be won or lost at site level.

🔹 The challenge

A renewables-dominated power system is inherently more variable:

• Electricity prices fluctuate sharply within the day

• Power quality issues increase with inverter-based generation

• On-site PV, export limits, and grid constraints become operational topics

Energy is no longer just something you measure monthly.
It is something you must monitor continuously, manage actively, and control locally.

🔹 What this means for industrial and commercial sites

In this new reality:

• The same kWh can have very different costs depending on when it is consumed

• Poor visibility leads directly to higher costs, downtime, and compliance risk

• Traditional meters and passive dashboards are no longer sufficient

Sites need real-time, granular energy intelligence, tightly linked to operations.

⚡  Where Electrex fits in — and why it matters

Electrex systems are designed specifically for this new energy landscape:

• Advanced energy analyzers and sub-meters provide high-resolution data on
  kW, kvar, power factor, harmonics, and power quality events — at feeder, load, and process level

• Multi-protocol communication and open integration allow Electrex devices to act as the energy data backbone for EMS, BMS, and SCADA systems

• Embedded PLC functionality and on-board relays enable local control at the edge:
  load shedding, peak limitation, PV self-consumption optimization, export control — without external PLCs

• Process and environmental data integration links energy use to machine status, production, and operating conditions

This combination of measurement + logic + control in a single platform is what turns energy data into operational action.

🔧   Why Electrex becomes critical, not optional

As grids become more renewable and more volatile:

• Energy monitoring becomes risk management

• Energy management becomes cost control

• Energy control becomes operational resilience

Electrex enables all three — at site level, where the energy transition is actually executed.

👉  The takeaway

Europe’s energy transition is not only about producing clean electricity.
It is about using electricity intelligently, flexibly, and reliably.

That transition requires systems that do more than report energy data.
It requires platforms that can see, decide, and act — in real time.
