The following information is from the last update, which took place in 2022 - 2023. If you are reading this notice, the provider has not updated its information since the last update and the information may be out of date.
Levion's "Smart Energy Platform" (SEP) enables energy suppliers to implement new business models and thus react to changing framework conditions. SEP offers a turnkey energy management solution with a wide range of functions. The individual components can be used independently of each other and yet are perfectly coordinated. Building on the same basis, a multitude of different products and services can be created. In the areas of smart home and smart grid alone, countless home automation standards are currently competing with each other. SEP already supports many of these standards today and continues to expand this lead. This keeps ideas and business models fit for the future! Grid stabilisation, participation in the energy transition and the possibility for dynamic tariffs are just a few examples of the added value that SEP provides.
