The Montpellier company Sween is one of the 11 selected for the Innovation Trophies, the winners of which will be revealed this Thursday, December 12, at the EnerGaïa Forum, the European meeting place for renewable energy players.

Will she have the chance to climb the steps of the podium at the first edition of the Innovation Trophies, this Thursday, December 12, at the EnerGaïa Forum, which is taking place at the Parc des Expositions in Pérols? ? She ? The company Sween, one of the eleven pre-selected companies, for its TeeKY by Pilotic linky radio transmitter, an innovative tool for energy data management and the Smart Grid.

A specialist in energy exchanges between network points, Amaury Pachurka is carrying out a first test operation of collective energy self-consumption in 2021, in Cailar, in the Gard, which brings together several individuals and the municipality around a project of solar panels installed on each other's roofs. And thus to create energy pooling between “neighbors”.

This is how he is setting up a new economic model of consumer-producers based on peer-to-peer energy exchange. Developing other projects of this type and creating management tools specific to the production and consumption of energy in a collective manner will be at the origin of the creation of his company, Sween, which will be launched in 2022.

A solution to reduce your electricity bill

Thanks to these management tools allowing real-time management of all data shared via an application to all members of the energy community, it is possible to make the most of energy production, “by consuming it as much as possible when it is available, before storing it to use it for example to recharge your vehicle“, explains Amaury Pachurka. It's a winning trio since in this way the members of the community adapt their uses, achieve energy sobriety and reduce their electricity bill.

Sween's latest find, presented this Thursday, December 12, at the EnerGaïa Forum: TeeKY by Pilotic. “It's a module that you plug into the Linky meter to know what each person produces and consumes, and therefore to adapt their consumption“, explains the founder of Sween. No need for Wifi, pairing or configuration. A revolution in accessing and exploiting data from Linky communicating meters for optimized management of energy resources. Who says better ?
