Energy management software for UK commercial & industrial sites
ArcGrid EMS delivers British-built energy management software for single sites and fleets, new builds and existing BESS and EMS sites—with TOU optimisation, solar export, forecasts, on-site losses, alerts to Teams, Slack, SMS, or email, scheduled insights, BESS supplier coordination, and solar grid applications. New OEM to us? We add the control free of charge.
If your manufacturer or control platform is new to us, we will add the control integration free of charge—so you are not penalised for equipment we have not seen before.
Why operators choose our EMS
Software-first delivery from a team with 200+ MW of prior UK programme experience (across earlier roles at other organisations) and individual sites exceeding 1 GWh lifetime output. Our engineers and operators built this experience in the UK energy sector across prior roles and organisations—not all under the ArcGrid EMS name alone.
Single site or full fleet
Same EMS for one installation or many—portfolio dashboards, aligned rules, and expert support whether you operate a single BESS or a nationwide fleet.
Wide manufacturer support
Integrate a broad range of battery, inverter, generation, and control OEMs. New manufacturer to us? We add the control integration free of charge.
Microgrid & resilience
Keep business-critical load supplied when the wider grid is constrained—EMS coordinates on-site assets automatically.
TOU, export & generation forecasts
Time-of-use optimisation, solar export and zero-export control, plus solar and wind predictions—dispatch based on tariffs and forecast output.
Losses, suppliers & grid applications
Calculate on-site system losses, share data with BESS suppliers, and support solar teams putting forward DNO grid applications—the full delivery chain.
Alerts & insight reports
Critical infrastructure notifications to SMS, email, Teams, Slack, Discord, or email—plus daily, weekly, and monthly summaries for operators and management.
Platform intelligence on every site
Operational maths and grid paperwork connected—so BESS suppliers, solar teams, and operators work from the same numbers.
Time-of-use (TOU) optimisation
Align import, storage, and dispatch with time-of-use tariffs—charge when power is cheap, discharge or load-shift when it is expensive, automatically.
Solar export & zero-export control
Manage export to grid and zero-export regimes—stay within DNO limits while maximising self-consumption and safe export when allowed.
Solar & wind predictions
Forecast solar and wind output so BESS dispatch, trading, and grid applications are based on what generation will do—not just what it did yesterday.
On-site loss accounting
Calculate losses and auxiliary power used by the system on site—so reported performance, supplier data, and commercial models reflect real net energy, not optimistic gross figures.
BESS supplier & asset coordination
Connect forecasts, limits, and operational data to BESS suppliers and integrators—one coherent dataset for sizing, warranty, and performance discussions.
Solar grid applications end-to-end
Support solar teams putting forward DNO grid connection requests—with technical data, export assumptions, and EMS configuration aligned to what gets approved.
Alerts & scheduled insights
Push critical infrastructure alarms and routine reports to the channels your team already uses—SMS, email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, or other platforms via webhooks.
Existing sites, single sites & fleets
Upgrade what you run today or deploy at one site or across a portfolio—the same EMS and expert team.
- Insights on sites you already run: Connect to existing BESS, meters, and controllers—surface performance gaps, alarm noise, and missed revenue in one dashboard.
- Stronger control & reliability: Replace brittle scripts and fragmented tools with automated dispatch, export limit enforcement, and failover logic your operators can trust.
- Efficiency & expert tuning: Our specialists advise on setpoints, trading strategy, and asset coordination—so the same hardware works harder and fails less often.
- Upgrade without rip-and-replace: Keep proven field equipment where it makes sense; we layer UK-built EMS software and integration so improvement is phased and practical.
- Single-site systems: One BESS, solar, or hybrid site with full EMS—insights, control, DNO-aligned limits, and trading from a single UK-built platform.
- Fleet & portfolio operations: Many sites, one view—consistent dispatch rules, reporting, and expert oversight across your estate without logging into a different tool per location.

Energy management software — FAQ
- Does your EMS handle time-of-use tariffs and solar export?
- Yes. We optimise for time-of-use (TOU) schedules, manage solar export and zero-export limits, and keep dispatch aligned with grid connection rules—on one UK-built platform.
- Do you provide solar and wind generation forecasts?
- Yes. Solar and wind predictions feed BESS dispatch, trading decisions, and planning—so operations look forward, not only at historical meter data.
- Can you calculate on-site losses and auxiliary consumption?
- Yes. We account for power used by the system on site—conversion losses, auxiliaries, and plant consumption—so performance reporting and supplier conversations reflect net outcomes.
- Do you work with BESS suppliers and solar developers on grid applications?
- Yes. We connect operational and forecast data to BESS suppliers, support solar teams with DNO grid connection requests, and deliver the full chain—from application through energisation to EMS-led operations.
- Can you send alerts to Teams, Slack, Discord, SMS, or email?
- Yes. Configure notifications for critical infrastructure events to text, email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, or other platforms. You can also schedule daily, weekly, or monthly insight summaries—not just emergency alarms.
- Do you support single sites and fleet systems?
- Yes. ArcGrid EMS supports single-site BESS and EMS deployments and multi-site fleets—one energy management software platform with portfolio reporting, aligned dispatch, and expert advice whether you run one location or dozens.
- Which manufacturers and equipment do you integrate?
- We work across a very wide range of battery, inverter, generation, metering, and control manufacturers. If your kit is already on our platform, onboarding is faster; if it is new to us, we add the control integration free of charge.
- What does “free integration” for a new manufacturer mean?
- When we have not previously connected to your OEM or controller, we develop and deliver that control interface at no additional integration fee—you pay for EMS and delivery as scoped, not a surprise charge because your hardware is uncommon.
- What is the best energy management software for UK commercial sites?
- The right EMS depends on your assets and goals. ArcGrid EMS is built in the UK for sites running BESS, solar, CHP, wind, and grid import/export—with microgrids, DNO-aligned limits, and trading on one platform.
- How much does energy management software cost?
- Pricing depends on site count, asset types, and market participation. Contact us for a demo—we scope EMS licensing and delivery around your estate, not a one-size-fits-all SaaS tier.
- Can your EMS replace multiple vendor dashboards?
- Yes. Our energy management software is designed to orchestrate generation, storage, load, and grid connection in one place—reducing manual reconciliation and export limit risk.
- Does your EMS support energy trading?
- Yes. Operations and flexibility trading run on the same energy management system—so dispatch decisions and market participation stay consistent.
- Can you improve an existing BESS or EMS site?
- Yes. We add insights and control to existing battery storage and energy management installations—making them more reliable, efficient, and easier to run. Our experts review how your site performs today, then configure UK-built EMS software and integration so you get clearer visibility, tighter dispatch, and better commercial outcomes without starting from scratch.
