Unlocking Energy Optimisation with Eniris SmartgridOne: Understanding Behind-the-Meter and Front-of-the-Meter Solutions

As energy systems become more decentralized and complex, businesses and energy providers are increasingly seeking smarter ways to manage consumption, generation, and storage. Two key strategies in this space are Behind-the-Meter (BTM) and Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) optimisation. With Eniris SmartgridOne, these approaches are no longer reserved for large utilities – they’re accessible, actionable, and highly effective for a wide range of users.

What is Behind-the-Meter (BTM) Optimisation?

BTM refers to energy assets that operate on the consumer’s side of the utility meter. This includes on-site solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, and controllable loads. Optimising these assets means reducing grid dependency, lowering energy bills, and increasing self-consumption.

Eniris SmartgridOne monitors and controls BTM systems in real-time. It uses smart algorithms to:

  • Shift consumption to periods of high solar production

  • Manage battery charge and discharge for maximum efficiency

  • Minimise peak demand and associated charges

  • Integrate EV charging into site-level energy strategies

This enables businesses and building operators to make the most of their on-site assets while improving sustainability and resilience.

What is Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) Optimisation?

FTM optimisation involves energy assets that are connected directly to the grid and often serve broader network purposes. These can include large-scale batteries or solar farms, as well as flexible loads that can respond to grid signals or participate in energy markets.

With Eniris SmartgridOne, operators can:

  • Monitor grid-scale assets in real-time

  • Respond to market price signals or demand response events

  • Forecast and schedule energy dispatch

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and grid operator requirements

FTM optimisation allows asset owners to generate new revenue streams while supporting grid stability and efficiency.
