NODI Energy provides smart battery technology and a virtual power plant program that automatically charges home and small-business batteries when electricity is cheap and discharges during peak pricing periods, lowering energy costs. The company’s plug-in NODI device works with new installations, while its VPP program enables owners of supported DEYE battery systems to earn at least £120/€120 per year. NODI targets residential, commercial, and grid-scale customers across the UK, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Problem
Households and small businesses face rising and unpredictable electricity bills, while modern battery technology has largely benefited data centres and large corporations. Energy flexibility services—which shift demand and ease grid congestion—remain out of reach for ordinary consumers, leaving them without tools to manage peak pricing or generate income from existing battery assets.
Solution
NODI Energy offers a smart battery system that automatically charges when energy prices are low and releases stored power when prices are high, reducing and stabilizing energy costs. The NODI device plugs into a standard socket and begins operating automatically, requiring no manual intervention. Additionally, NODI operates a virtual power plant that aggregates distributed batteries—including those from supported DEYE systems—allowing UK, German, Belgian, and Dutch homes to earn regular revenue by letting NODI use spare battery capacity during grid events. Participants retain full control, set reserve limits, and monitor payments through the NODI app, while the company's distributed energy network helps unlock grid capacity for broader electrification.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK and European homeowners, renters, leaseholders, and small business owners—such as cafés, salons, and gyms—who want lower peak energy bills, alongside commercial and public-sector entities seeking dispatchable grid capacity.
