What does energy intelligence mean ?

Energy intelligence is an area that belongs to the energy sector.

It is knowledge-based on the interpretation of society’s behaviour, economic analysis of production, distribution, accumulation and consumer goods to better understand the patterns and needs of the people and apply innovation as a solution for the energy.

An energy intelligence company can operate anywhere in this mentioned ecosystem.

FOHAT and Blockchain

We are proud to be the first and only company in Latin America to apply the blockchain to the energy sector.

We play a leading role in the global energy framework as a signatory of the Energy Web Foundation at the launch of the Energy Web Chain (EWC) in June of 2019 .

. With headquarters in Curitiba and São Paulo (Brazil) and Melbourne (Australia) we operate globally and in various segments in the public and private sectors in the integration area (distributed energy resources) and commercialization and power consumption.

Solutions for the energy sector

Integration line

Solutions that ensure the control of power generation assets in arrangements such as microgrids and virtual power plants as well as ancillary services process management.

Trading line

Solutions that ensure the digitization of energy trading to promote peer-to-peer transactive energy (P2PTE) using blockchain, tokenomics, artificial intelligence, advanced metering and big data.

The solutions in this line serve energy trading in organized or non-organized over-the-counter markets.

In organized markets it also plays the role of the central counterparty with the custody and liquidation of bilateral contracts.

Also the Trading Line includes marketplaces for the processes of issuing and trading of certificates of origin (I-RECs) and sale of Distributed Generation batches.

Use Cases for Energy Solutions

We are proud to present what we are already doing around the world to positively transform people’s lives, business efficiency and the planet’s survival with clean energy.

Brazil’s first organized over-the-counter energy trading platform for AES Sao Paulo.

Original situation : One of Brazil’s largest renewable electricity generation companies, AES Tiete did not have an organized over-the-counter platform to trade energy generated by its brick-and-mortar and virtual power plants. It could also not issue renewable energy certificates (I-RECs) with the use of blockchain technology.

FOHAT solution: We used energy intelligence solutions to assess the entire history of AES Tiete and the Brazilian energy market in order to launch AES’s Energy Intelligence Project.

We used energy intelligence solutions to assess the entire history of AES Tiete and the Brazilian energy market in order to launch AES’s Energy Intelligence Project. The initiative will introduce an organized over-the-counter (OTC) energy trading platform with an edge, the digital environment that allows trading energy with central counterparty clearing (CCP) which ensures clearing and settlement of bilateral energy contracts for both buyers and sellers.

Along with increased security our platform will ensure data reliability and enhance scalability in energy trading thanks to integration between financial intelligence and encryption of smart contracts with the use of blockchain technology.

Today, Brazil’s free market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre — ACL) accounts for 30% of the energy traded .

. The Brazilian Energy Regulator ANEEL intends the market to be totally free by 2028 which means there is a growing trend towards opening up.

In addition FOHAT will integrate Virtual Power Plants with the OTC market.

Thanks to collaboration with the Energy Web Foundation (EWF) the platform will allow AES to issue renewable energy certificates (I-RECs).

the platform will allow AES to issue renewable energy certificates (I-RECs). Brazil is the second largest issuer of I-RECs worldwide with 500,000 certificates issued in the first half of 2019 (equivalent to half a million megawatt hours).

Start up boot camp Australia and Melbourne City Hall

Original Status: The former power system on Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, Australia was last updated in 2003 and was powered by a conventional battery system without power renewal and self-sufficiency.

FOHAT Solution: We applied an energy intelligence solution that assesses the market’s historical performance and its impact on local people and the projected effective demand for merchants and consumers along with a technical and commercial feasibility study.

FOHAT was the only Brazilian company to take part in a Power and Utilities Conference and Expo.

In Australia the countries premier power and energy event gathered the worlds top 300 most innovative energy companies in Melbourne.

In addition to consolidating our business model in the local market with some of Australia’s public bodies and key players in the energy sector we took part in one of the events leading panels as a Brazilian energy intelligence company.
