ENCAVIS investment in TokWise: Joint development of AI-powered Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to optimise electricity sales

Hamburg, 14 September 2023 – Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator Encavis AG, listed on the MDAX of Deutsche Börse AG (Prime Standard; ISIN: DE0006095003; ticker symbol: ECV) holds a 18% stake in TokWise Ltd, a start-up founded in 2018. The Sofia-based company has set itself the goal of accelerating the digital transformation of the way energy market participants buy and sell their electricity on the different markets. The company has already well-known customers across various European countries.

The TokWise platform enables power producers, such as Encavis AG, as well as industrial electricity consumers, to link their assets directly to the power exchanges and thereby take control of the purchase and sale of electricity. In addition, the company has built a unique Data Science team and expertise focused on energy markets to develop algorithms that enable complete automation of power trading decisions. Thus, TokWise's AI allows to maximise the value of every kilowatt-hour.

“The investment in TokWise enables us to jointly develop completely new software solutions aiming to adapt the production, consumption and storage of our electricity to the constantly changing market environment,” said Mario Schirru, CIO/COO of Encavis AG, explaining the acquisition of the minority stake in TokWise. “In addition, we can use this expertise in algorithm-based power trading and balancing Group management to optimise the charge and discharge of our battery in Hettstedt,” adds Schirru.
 

“The strategic investment from Encavis will open new opportunities for us by giving TokWise an exposure to pan-European platforms, industry expertise and access to new markets,” says Krasimir Kolev, Co-founder of TokWise. “The common perspective on future energy markets will allow us to accelerate our growth and develop new product lines,” adds Julien Marcenac, Co-founder and Head of Energy Data Science.
