The speaker, representing a smaller company targeting the German market, discusses the current state of energy pricing in Germany and recent changes due to dynamic tariffs. Traditionally, fixed-price contracts dominated with prices around 42 cents per kilowatt-hour. Energy costs consist of taxes, grid fees, and procurement charges. Recent legislation has introduced dynamic components like Module 3 for flexible consumers allowing participation in variable grid fees based on consumption patterns aimed at stabilizing grids. Dynamic tariffs require users to adapt their energy usage according to fluctuating prices throughout the day—lower during nights but higher during peak times like evenings or lunch hours. This variability can result in significant savings (down to 14 cents/kWh) or increased costs if not managed well. To address these complexities and enhance user experience while promoting renewable energy use, they offer Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS). These systems autonomously optimize consumption using machine learning models after basic configurations by users regarding temperature settings and budget constraints. Installers play a crucial role; thus training programs are established ensuring installers understand product intricacies including installation procedures and customer communication about potential savings through optimized behavior adjustments facilitated by HEMS technology integration into residential setups.
