Closing the gap between installation and energy management
Australia has experienced rapid growth in solar and battery deployment. However, much of the market has remained focused on the sale and installation of equipment.
For commercial and industrial customers, installing solar panels and batteries is only the first step. The long-term financial result depends on how those assets operate after commissioning.
Installing solar panels and batteries is only the first step.
A battery must respond to a business's changing load, electricity tariff, demand charges and operating hours. Its charging and discharging strategy may also need to adapt to weather conditions, energy prices and opportunities within the electricity market.
Without active and professional energy management, even a properly designed system may not achieve its full financial potential.
The cooperation between New Ability Energy and BitWatt is intended to address this long-standing gap in the Australian renewable energy market.
New Ability Energy contributes customer understanding, site-specific engineering, compliance expertise and end-to-end project delivery. BitWatt contributes intelligent energy management technology, digital operating capability and experience managing large numbers of connected energy assets.
Together, the companies aim to connect the physical and digital sides of business energy.
The partnership will focus on developing a more complete energy service for commercial and industrial customers across Australia: one that considers not only what equipment should be installed, but also how the energy system should be managed throughout its operating life.
Making renewable energy easier for Australian businesses
The shared objective of New Ability Energy and BitWatt is to allow business owners to enjoy the benefits of renewable energy without taking on another complex operational responsibility.
Business owners should not need to become electricity market specialists. They should not have to coordinate multiple providers, interpret large volumes of energy data or continually decide how their batteries should operate.
They should be able to focus on running their businesses while experienced energy professionals manage the design, delivery and ongoing performance of their energy systems.
By combining engineering, project execution and intelligent energy management, New Ability Energy and BitWatt aim to help Australian businesses reduce electricity costs and exposure to changing energy prices; improve the utilisation and financial performance of solar and battery assets; reduce the time and administrative burden involved in managing energy systems; improve visibility over energy consumption and system performance; support emissions-reduction and sustainability objectives; and adopt renewable energy with greater confidence and less complexity.
This represents a shift from simply installing renewable energy equipment to actively managing energy as a long-term business asset.
A partnership with national ambition
The strategic cooperation agreement represents an important milestone for both companies and establishes a foundation for future growth across Australia.
New Ability Energy and BitWatt share the belief that the next stage of Australia's energy transition will require more than additional solar panels and batteries. It will require stronger integration between engineering, technology, data and ongoing operational management.
By bringing these capabilities together, the partnership aims to set a higher standard for commercial and industrial energy services.
The ultimate measure of success will be practical: helping business owners reduce their electricity costs, minimise operational complexity and enjoy the benefits of renewable energy with greater confidence and peace of mind.
New Ability Energy thanks the BitWatt team for its trust and shared vision, and recognises our team and partners whose work made this agreement possible.
