Challenge
The path to building a sustainable, renewables-first energy grid
starts at home, with a commitment to making ‘Everything Electric’.
For us all to ‘stop burning stuff’, we need to focus on
powering the devices and appliances in our lives with electrical energy instead of using fossil fuel based
energy sources.
Our grid energy retailers are also evolving, with the emergence of a new breed
of retailer that offers access to the real underlying, dynamic, cost of buying
and selling energy on the grid.
Our homes are turning into resilient and flexible power stations, through the
installation of solar and battery energy storage systems.
Electric Vehicles let us power our personal transport with renewable energy (both
from the grid and from our own rooftops).
Our houses contain electrical devices that consume energy, and the larger ones (like air conditioners, hot water heaters and pool pumps) can be controlled so they do their work at an optimal time each day.
The challenge with all of these disparate Distributed Energy Resources is to dynamically control them in a holistic and intelligent way, to increase overall energy efficiency and (as a result) reduce your monthly energy bills on an enduring basis.
The Solution
Solution
Energy Autopilot is a new company, founded by
Simon Hackett, that is dedicated
to bringing all the pieces of the renewable energy puzzle together
in your home and office.
Our mission is to substantially reduce your monthly energy bills
while also making your home or office an active contributor to the
creation of the renewables-first, sustainable, low-carbon energy
grid.
To achieve this, we are developing an easy to use, multi-vendor, multi-retailer
platform that integrates, optimises and automates energy flows between
the various Distributed Energy Resources in your home and office.
Energy Autopilot is not a “VPP” (where you hand control over your
energy resources to a third party). Our focus is on providing you with
local control and autonomy over the operation of the resources you
own.
Investment in an on-site battery of sufficient size can create the
additional opportunity to further reduce your monthly energy bills by buying energy when the cost
is low, and selling it back to the grid (at a net profit) when the grid
needs it most!

We are developing our platform now, informed by successful internal
testing in a variety of real-world scenarios that have proven to us that
this… works.
The initial commercial release of our platform will be in Australia,
with other countries to follow.
We invite you to sign up to our mailing list for updates on our
development path, and for opportunities to join the beta test programme
as we work toward full commercial release.
