CBAM is here — are you ready for the new carbon cost reality?

..   The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is reshaping how energy-intensive industries compete in the global market. By putting a carbon price on imported goods, the EU is sending a clear signal: 👉 Emissions transparency and control are no longer optional — they are strategic. 📊 But what [...]

Power Plant Controller (PPC) – Libra CCI UPS: From Regulatory Compliance to Intelligent Energy Control Platform

..   The role of the Plant Central Controller (CCI) is rapidly evolving. While Resolution 385/2025/R/EEL mandates its adoption for power modulation, implementing an advanced solution like the Electrex Libra CCI UPS PQ enables operators to move well beyond compliance. Rather than being just a regulatory requirement, the Libra [...]

EU Energy Efficiency Directive & ISO 50001: compliance is becoming operational, not optional

..   From October 11, 2027, EU companies with an average annual energy consumption exceeding 85 TJ will be required to obtain ISO 50001 certification. This marks a significant regulatory shift, particularly for energy-intensive industries, transforming energy management from a periodic obligation into a continuous, structured process. But what [...]

The Age of Electricity Is Here — Greater Observability, Granularity and Event-Driven Insight are Required

..   The IEA Electricity 2026 report highlights a defining trend: global electricity demand is set to grow rapidly through 2030 as electrification accelerates across industry, transport and buildings — with data centres, EV fleets and heat pumps all playing a role. At the same time, renewable generation is [...]

Power Plant Controller (PPC) – Libra CCI UPS: The Advanced Central Controller (CCI) for MV Installations

..   The LIBRA CCI UPS  is a Power Plant Controller (PPC) / Central Controller (CCI) that not only complies with the new requirements of ARERA Resolution 385/2025, but also incorporates additional functionalities and unique features, making it a multifunctional and strategic device. Libra CCI UPS: The System Engine [...]

Power Quality as an Early-Warning System for Grid Instability

..   The latest ENTSO-E technical report on instability detection in power-electronics-dominated systems delivers a clear message: ➡️ As power systems become increasingly converter-based, traditional monitoring is no longer sufficient. Modern instabilities are faster, more complex, and often invisible to basic RMS measurements. Harmonic resonance, control-loop interactions, and phase-angle [...]

Europe just crossed a historic electricity milestone — and it changes how energy must be managed at site level.

..   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 [...]

Building Energy Awareness and Energy Culture: How Technology and People Work Together

..   Energy efficiency is often discussed in terms of technology, automation, and software platforms. However, real and sustained energy savings depend just as much on people as on systems.This is where energy awareness and energy culture become decisive factors. Energy culture refers to the collective behaviors, habits, and [...]

Power Plant Controller (PPC) / Central Controller (CCI) – Libra CCI UPS: The Complete Plug-and-Play Solution to Address the New Obligations of ARERA Resolution 385/2025 and 564/2025

..   On August 5, 2025, ARERA published Delibera 385/2025/R/EEL, introducing new requirements for operators of distributed generation plants (photovoltaic and wind).Under this resolution, all existing and new photovoltaic and wind plants with a nominal power of 100 kW or greater connected to the medium-voltage grid must be equipped [...]

Electrex – Observability & Data Aggregation: The Real Foundation of Grid Flexibility

..   As we move toward higher shares of renewables, flexibility becomes essential—but flexibility cannot exist without deep, continuous, and reliable observability. The recent ENTSO-E report makes this clear: ➡️ Distributed assets cannot contribute to flexibility if system operators lack real-time visibility into their behaviour. ➡️ Data remains fragmented [...]
