E-CO2: A Green Energy Initiative for South Africa’s Commercial Real Estate
Empowering business transformation with scalable, future-ready technology
Growthpoint Properties is developing a clean energy solution called E-CO2, powered by Fuel Switch, which will transform the way their tenants receive and benefit from renewable energy.
Key Features & benefits
- Efficient Renewable Energy Distribution: By ensuring that RECs are transferred to tenants alongside their wheeled electricity, E-CO2 not only supports Growthpoint’s sustainability initiatives but also provides tenants with assurance of their green energy usage.
- Automation and Scalability: Our Fuel Switch enhancements automate REC wheeling, minimizing manual intervention and streamlining operations.
- Accurate Electricity and REC Matching: With our integration of tenant electricity usage data, E-CO2 allocates RECs accurately to match tenant consumption, making the initiative transparent and compliant with sustainability reporting standards.
Our Contributions
- UX/UI Design for Fuel Switch Expansion: Adapting our platform’s interface for optimal tenant experience, we created a user-friendly design that scales as E-CO2 grows.
- System Architecture & Custom Development: Our development team structured the system to handle complex REC wheeling and electricity allocation, ensuring robust functionality and future scalability.
- Electricity & REC Matching Engine: This matching engine automates REC allocation based on tenant usage, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing process accuracy.
- Integration Solutions: We built integrations with tenant management and electricity usage tracking systems, enabling precise, automated REC transfers in real time.
- Invoicing System Enhancement: Our improvements to Fuel Switch’s accounting tools ensure compliance with corporate policies and support seamless transaction management.
