Emulate Energy Partners with Flower to Expand Market Access for Distributed Energy Resources

Distributed flexibility is becoming a foundational part of the energy system. We’re making sure every asset can be part of it.

We’re excited to announce our integration with Flower, an energy tech company that has built a platform to control and optimize energy assets. By enabling broad access to energy markets, Flower maximizes value for the grid while generating revenue for asset owners. Flower has long been a key player in optimizing and trading large-scale battery systems and is now expanding its offering to include smaller energy resources.

Why This Matters Now

“DERs are playing an increasingly important role in the energy system, where individual units act as micro power plants supporting the grid when and where needed. This segment is a key part of the transition toward a more stable and cost-efficient energy system”.

– John Diklev, CEO of Flower

This development reflects a broader shift in the energy system. As more DERs come online, value increasingly depends on the ability to aggregate and coordinate smaller assets at scale. API-based connectivity plays a key role in this transition, reducing integration overhead and enabling faster onboarding of new device types and partners.

What We’re Building Together

Flower is now expanding the scope of market-based participation to a broader set of distributed energy resources,  from residential batteries to EV charging infrastructure and beyond. Starting with Polarium’s home battery, this setup enables participation in energy markets through cloud-based integration, without requiring additional on-site hardware.

A growing ecosystem is forming around this model, with actors such as Flexecharge, Markedroid, Rebel and Emulate integrating their respective technologies to enable asset connectivity and market access, each contributing to different parts of the value chain.

A Clear Direction

From our perspective, this reinforces one clear direction: distributed flexibility is becoming a foundational part of the energy system, and the ability to aggregate and coordinate smaller assets at scale is where value is increasingly created.
