Enode x SAP: SAP has chosen Enode to enable residential flexibility within SAP Distributed Energy Resources

Energy retailers are moving from experimentation to long-term decisions about residential flexibility. Today, flexibility needs to operate as part of day-to-day business, not as a side initiative.

SAP sees that shift clearly. That’s why SAP has chosen Enode to enable SAP Distributed Energy Resources, a solution supporting residential distributed energy resource (DER) flexibility within SAP environments.

The partnership brings Enode’s full product capabilities into the SAP ecosystem, allowing utilities to manage residential flexibility with the same operational discipline they apply to the rest of their business.

Why SAP chose Enode

SAP is one of the most established enterprise software providers in the global energy industry. SAP solutions are used by over 90% of Forbes Global 2000 utilities worldwide and support more than 5800 utility customers globally — powering customer management, billing, service, analytics, and core utility operations.

As residential flexibility moves from pilots to scaled programs, SAP customers need capabilities that match that level of operational complexity and reliability.

SAP chose Enode because of its ability to deliver residential DER flexibility end to end, from high-quality device connectivity, to local optimization, to portfolio-level aggregation. These capabilities strengthen the SAP Distributed Energy Resources solution by enabling utilities to connect, control, and aggregate residential assets at scale.

Enabling SAP Distributed Energy Resources with Enode

SAP Distributed Energy Resources is built on the SAP Business Technology Platform and provides utilities with a trusted DER data backbone and energy data management capabilities. It unifies technical asset data with commercial agreements, enabling utilities to manage prosumer installations, energy data, and DER related processes at scale. Combined with a curated ecosystem of specialist technology partners, SAP delivers a comprehensive end to end offering that empowers utilities to own their energy transition.

Through SAP Distributed Energy Resources, retailers can use Enode to:

• connect residential DERs such as EVs, chargers, heat pumps, solar inverters, and home batteries across major manufacturers
• optimize devices locally based on tariffs, customer preferences, and physical constraints
• aggregate flexibility across thousands of assets into a single, controllable portfolio

Flexibility is exposed through APIs and designed to integrate with existing optimization, trading, or energy management systems. The result is a portfolio that can be planned, dispatched, and evaluated with the same discipline as other energy assets.

Built for enterprise SAP environments

Enode’s solution is designed to integrate with SAP Distributed Energy Resources, SAP S/4HANA Utilities and SAP Business Technology Platform.

For SAP customers, this provides:

• operational visibility across connected residential assets
• improved insights to enhance customer experience and reduce cost to serve
• a clear path from connected devices to market-facing flexibility programs

SAP provides the enterprise foundation utilities already operate on. Enode enhances SAP Distributed Energy Resources with residential connectivity, optimization, and aggregation capabilities built for scale.

What this partnership enables

As part of the partnership, SAP recognizes Enode as a partner for the SAP Distributed Energy Resources solution.

“Enode stands out as an exceptional partner for DER flexibility,” says Mateu Munar, Senior Director, Industry Business Unit Utilities at SAP. “Their ability to combine reliable device connectivity, local optimization, and portfolio-level aggregation makes them uniquely suited to help utilities operationalize flexibility within SAP environments.”

Residential flexibility is becoming part of long-term operating models. This partnership reflects SAP’s view of where the market is heading and the capabilities required to support it.

With SAP Distributed Energy Resources enabled by Enode, energy retailers can develop and scale residential flexibility programs that work in step with their existing systems, and evolve those programs into durable, long-term capabilities.
