Negative prices, demand-response calls and grid limits decide when a battery earns money. Order Group is an energy software development company in Warsaw: in April 2026 the EMS we build for Zeronest controlled more than 3,000 prosumer storage installations.
Tell us what you're building.
A few details tell us which engineers to bring to the first call.
Energy software has three jobs: control the asset, show what it is doing and make it earn.
Command over batteries and inverters, including how much a site is allowed to export to the grid. Safety limits stay enforced under every decision.
Live readings, weather forecasts and market prices combined into one picture of what an asset is doing and what it is worth.
The control layer also decides when to charge, discharge, shed load or bid. Enerace's production module plans machine work around the cost of energy.
Proof
Zeronest
Once a minute the EMS decides whether each battery charges, discharges or sells to the grid. It integrates 16 inverter brands and controls 30 MWh of storage. The same platform carries the apps for homeowners and installers.
Skyfri
We designed the architecture and built the EMS behind Skyfri's platform for solar and battery plants. It was validated at Socomec's energy storage lab near Strasbourg, ran across 7 plants and works in Germany and Sweden.
KYOTO Group
From the UX/UI MVP to a SCADA-based system that monitored and controlled the flow of energy in real time. The twin combined plant data with weather data and energy price analysis. With the MVP we built, KYOTO Group raised NOK 183.3 million in 2021, and it returned in 2024 to develop the product.
The same platform serves a single prosumer and the aggregators and installers around thousands of installations.
Storage at a single household, controlled by the same EMS as the whole installed base of the platform.
Hourly settlement for the whole cooperative and for each metering point, built for Zeronest in June 2026.
Fleet views, alerts and installation status for installers, and demand-side response calls for aggregators.
Arbitrage, peak shaving and export limits across many sites at once, the way the Skyfri EMS handles them.
Three areas, each with its own page
An EMS decides what each battery and inverter does. For Global Green we are building one for 15 MWh of storage: its orchestrator resolves conflicts between trading, aFRR and direct control before splitting the result across the batteries.
Portfolio position, tranche purchases and purchase recommendations at Enerace, and a purchasing portal connected to an energy company's ETRM, the book of record for its trades. Energy trading platforms.
Aggregation units and demand-side response calls for Zeronest, and hourly settlement for its energy cooperative module. VPP and DSR software links many small assets into one market participant.
Between January 2022 and December 2023 we worked on Nuvve's vehicle-to-grid platform. We automated the monthly reports for Nuvve's customers, built a tool for monitoring and bidding on the Danish energy market, and built a database that joins charger, fleet and grid data. We integrated new charger models with the platform. In 2023 we rebuilt Fleetbox, Nuvve's EV fleet management app, for web, iOS and Android. It covers charging and market participation, including discharging to the grid.
We build energy trading platforms for three groups: asset operators that bid flexibility into markets, advisors who tell their clients when to buy, and energy companies whose business customers buy energy through a portal.
Since 2020 we have built Enerace.Online for Enerace, an advisory that helps companies buy electricity and gas. Automating market data collection and recurring reports saves hundreds of hours each month, and the SaaS model has brought Enerace new clients. Background: how energy trading platforms work.
Built at Enerace, with an ETRM portal under way.
The European day-ahead market runs on a 15-minute market time unit. Prices, bids, positions and settlement have to work at that resolution, from the database to the screen. Enerace's PowerShift production module has settled in 15-minute periods since May 18, 2026.
trading periods a day on the day-ahead market, up from 24
Projects in Poland run under local rules: capacity-market auctions, the balancing products of PSE (the Polish transmission system operator), dynamic tariffs and demand-side response programs for battery storage (BESS) and flexible loads. The software has to meet them as requirements.
Since April 3, 2026 the rules also include the amended act on the national cybersecurity system (KSC), Poland's transposition of NIS2. Entities had to apply for entry in the register of essential and important entities by October 3, 2026 and must implement the new obligations by April 3, 2027. For most obligations, fines can be imposed only after April 3, 2028. Under NIS2 the maximum fine for essential entities is at least EUR 10 million or 2% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.
For a project under these rules the deployment choice matters: the control layer can run on-premises, inside your own infrastructure.

Where to start
Pick the situation closest to yours. Each one starts with a free discovery meeting.
Where are you now?
We run batteries and PV and need an EMS
First step
We list the batteries, inverters and meters on your sites and check which protocols each one offers.
We trade or buy energy and run an ETRM
First step
We go through your trading workflow and agree which data the new tool owns and which stays in the ETRM.
Our plant needs a digital twin or a fleet app
First step
Each needs different data and safety rules, so we agree which one the first release covers.
We are entering the Polish energy market
First step
We go through capacity-market, balancing and KSC requirements and agree what the first release has to support.
Energy
EMS, trading, integration and support.
Yes. An EMS has to keep three limits under every decision: the battery's state of charge, the site's grid connection limit and the market rules. We build it across hardware from several manufacturers, with control and safety limits at the site and analytics in the cloud. See our EMS software page.
Yes, and the ETRM stays the book of record for position, risk, P&L and settlement. The new tool writes each trade there once and reads trading rules from it instead of copying them into code. We are building a purchasing portal this way: contracts, positions and tranches synchronize with the ETRM on a schedule.
Yes, the digital twin for KYOTO Group's thermal energy storage is one. Before you order one, decide whether you need monitoring, simulation or control, because each needs different data and different safety rules.
Yes, two of them: aggregation with demand-side response calls for Zeronest, and the orchestrator for Global Green. Our page on VPP and DSR software covers both, and the virtual power plant entry explains the layers.
Yes. We list every device and the interface it exposes in discovery, before the first release is estimated. The Zeronest EMS reads and controls inverters over Modbus, and for KYOTO Group we built a SCADA-based system.
Yes. Use your own models when your forecasts or dispatch strategy are your advantage, or when your traders already rely on them. We build the control layer around them, with the battery and grid limits enforced underneath.
Either, or a mix. Choose on-premises when regulation or your security policy keeps control logic inside your own infrastructure. Choose the cloud to add sites quickly without running servers. A hybrid setup keeps control and safety limits at the site and puts analytics and reporting in the cloud.
The estimate comes from the free basic discovery: one meeting, after which we prepare a basic proof of concept or mockups that show what the build involves. Each release then has an agreed scope, so you know what you get before work on it starts.
Buy a ready product when you trade standard products on standard markets and the vendor's workflow matches yours. Build when the way you trade or advise clients is your advantage, or when you plan to sell the software, as Enerace does with its SaaS platform. Extend when your ETRM works but reporting or client tools are manual.
You do. Everything we build for you, including code, designs and documentation, is assigned to you. Zeronest sells its energy management platform as its own product, while we build the software behind it and support it under an SLA.
Yes: regulated fintech platforms, industrial IoT beyond the energy grid, and AI software. Each has its own page. The energy work has the same core: systems that control hardware or money in real time and have to keep running.
Start with a free discovery meeting. Tell us which markets and systems the software has to work with, and we will scope the build and estimate its cost. Capacity-market, PSE balancing and KSC requirements go into that scope as requirements the software has to meet.
