# Sourceful Energy

> Local energy coordination infrastructure - the Grid Intelligence Layer that gives utilities and homeowners actual control over distributed energy, at speeds cloud APIs can't match.

## About

Sourceful builds local energy coordination infrastructure. We're a software company (not hardware), providing the platform that enables real-time energy control with fast local execution - something cloud APIs physically cannot achieve.

**What we are:**
- Local energy coordination infrastructure company
- Software company providing the Grid Intelligence Layer
- B2B infrastructure provider (utilities, OEMs, installers)
- Platform-only (partners sell hardware, we provide software)

**Core product: The Zap**
A gateway running our software that provides:
- Fast local execution (vs 2-5s for cloud APIs)
- Protocol-agnostic: P1, Modbus-TCP, Modbus-RTU, MQTT, OCPP
- Compatible with 180M EU smart meters
- Works offline - no internet dependency
- Local control, secure cloud connection

## Blog

- [See you in Almedalen: Sourceful at Almedalen Week 2026](/blog/sourceful-at-almedalen-2026.md): From 22–26 June we're in Visby for Almedalen Week. We're coming to talk energy transition, the capacity crunch, and flexibility as revenue. Here's what we want to discuss, and how to book time with Viktor or Fredrik.
- [The day the bids ran out: what Sweden's gas turbine start on 8 June says about flexibility](/blog/when-the-bids-ran-out-gas-turbines-june-2026.md): On 8 June 2026 two independent faults hit the Swedish power system within an hour. Every upward regulation bid in SE3 and SE4 was activated, four gas turbines were started, and Sweden bought power from Norway and Lithuania. Here is what happened, and what it says about the value of flexibility.
- [Selling capacity, not just kilowatt hours: the lesson from Google's latest energy deal](/blog/selling-capacity-not-kilowatt-hours.md): Google is buying distributed capacity from small batteries and flexible loads through a virtual power plant in the US. Here is what the Voltus deal means, and why future revenue lies in selling credible capacity, not just kilowatt hours.
- [The Smart Readiness Indicator. What the EU's new building rules mean for Swedish property owners in 2026.](/blog/smart-readiness-indicator-epbd-fastighetsagare-2026.md): The EU's revised energy performance directive ties a building's intelligence to its valuation, rent level and energy declaration. The Smart Readiness Indicator is the tool that measures it. Here is what the SRI actually is, what it will require, and why a battery with multi-market optimisation is the single biggest lever for lifting the score.
- [The EU tightens cybersecurity rules for battery storage. What it means for Nordic property owners.](/blog/eu-cybersecurity-bess-2026.md): In May 2026 the EU extended its cybersecurity guidance for the energy system to cover battery storage. Here is what the decisions actually say, what they mean for Nordic property owners, and why accountability is best handled inside a full-stack operator model.
- [Flexibility as a business. Why Nordic commercial properties and industry win on battery storage in 2026](/blog/ci-bess-flexibility-nordics-2026.md): Facts from 2026 flip the calculation for Nordic commercial and industrial customers. Here is what they mean for property owners and industry that want to cut peak-power costs, and why a full-stack partner often makes the difference between theory and practice.
- [What's New in the Sourceful App 2.2.0](/blog/whats-new-in-the-sourceful-app-2-2-0.md): Savings tracker, spot prices, V2X charger controls, solar forecasting, reworked navigation, and the groundwork for AC charger support. Built on your feedback.
- [The Mess Is the Moat](/blog/the-mess-is-the-moat.md): Most energy tech companies pick a clean problem. We chose the physical layer instead.
- [We've Rebuilt the Sourceful App from the Ground Up](/blog/weve-rebuilt-the-sourceful-app-from-the-ground-up.md): Last week we released a completely new version of the Sourceful app. Not a facelift, but a full rebuild of both the app and the backend that powers it. Here's what's new, what's temporarily missing, and what's coming next.
- [Measure What Matters: OKRs for Energy Coordination](/blog/measure-what-matters-okrs-for-energy-coordination.md): Episode 71 of Coordinated with Fredrik explores John Doerr's OKR framework and how focus, alignment, tracking, and stretch goals apply to building distributed energy infrastructure.
