The company’s rolling out of hybrid energy management systems (EMS), consisting of a cloud platform and a local gateway, across 15 European countries, accelerates the cloud-to-cloud connection of electric vehicles into XENON. Between August 2024 and November 2025, gridX doubled the number of assets connected to XENON to 200,000 and further increased its share in the European EMS market. This positions the company for further scaling in 2026.

gridX continued to expand its ecosystem in 2025, with Sungrow, Huawei, and go-e joining as additional ‘Ready for gridX’ partners. Together with GoodWe, the company also launched the plug-and-play feature, which enables simple integration of both new and existing assets (‘retrofitting’).

In addition, gridX was a first mover in enabling end customers to control their assets in accordance with Paragraph 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). In 2026, gridX wants to position XENON as the preferred digital infrastructure for grid- and market-optimised control of decentralised energy assets.

A key aspect of this is cloud-to-cloud connectivity for electric vehicles, whose flexibility can be easily made available for energy trading – allowing both end users and energy providers to earn money. The grid, in turn, benefits from additional stability.

In addition, gridX plans to open up its XENON platform to selected business customer groups. This will allow them to link certain solutions of their own, such as local gateways, end user apps, or certain optimisation logic, to XENON. In doing so, gridX is addressing the complex challenges of the fragmented EMS market and giving more end users access to technologically advanced energy management.

gridX plans to utilise the various opportunities and advantages of flexibility marketing with the XENON Flex module, which will be rolled out in 2026 following successful testing this year. The company will thus act as an aggregator, enabling energy providers and traders to monetise battery and EV flexibility on intraday or balancing markets in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

“Together with our partners, we are driving forward Europe’s energy and mobility transition” said Anne Bicking, CEO at gridX. “gridX’s product aims to make the growing number of distributed energy resources in Europe digital and flexible so that they can contribute to a resilient, decentralized and sustainable energy system. Our commercial teams are focused on rolling out our solutions across Europe and along the entire value chain so that more people can benefit from advanced energy management that simply works.”
