Your grid generates surplus. Your customers pay peak rates. The 11.5p/kWh spread between them goes to the wholesale market. Not to you. Asso Mesh captures it. White-label. IP transfer. 10-week deployment.
Surplus generation sells at 2–3p/kWh on the wholesale market. Your customers pay 13–15p/kWh at peak. The 11.5p difference between those two numbers does not disappear. It goes to the wholesale market instead of to you. The regulatory framework to capture it already exists under EU Directive 2019/944 and the UK Smart Export Guarantee. The technology has not kept up. Until now.
Average spread in UK grid markets between off-peak surplus generation (2–3p/kWh wholesale) and on-peak retail demand (13–15p/kWh). This is revenue sitting between your assets and your customers.
Revenue most utility providers earn from P2P energy routing today. Current systems route energy through the National Grid, paying transmission and balancing charges on every unit.
EU Directive enabling P2P energy trading between prosumers, active since 2021. UK equivalent under Smart Export Guarantee. The regulatory framework already exists. The technology has not caught up.
Asso Mesh sits as an intelligence layer between your existing grid infrastructure and your customers. No rip-and-replace. Three discrete layers, each deployable independently.
ESP32-based smart meters installed at each prosumer location report real-time generation, consumption, and state-of-charge every 30 seconds. Data lives on-device and on your private cloud, no third-party data sharing. HMAC authentication on every reading. Compatible with standard CT clamp sensors and Modbus inverters.
The matching engine runs on your infrastructure (on-premise or private cloud). It ingests real-time grid-edge data, runs a price-discovery auction every 5 minutes, and routes available surplus to the nearest willing buyer at an agreed P2P price. Latency: <200ms. Supports dynamic pricing, fixed tariffs, and time-of-use models. Full audit log on every transaction.
The white-label SDK integrates into your existing CRM, billing platform, and customer portal. Customers see P2P trades on their bills as a separate line item. You control margin, pricing model, and customer-facing branding. REST API + webhooks for real-time billing platform updates. Pre-built connectors for SAP IS-U, Salesforce Energy, and generic REST billing APIs.
Conservative modelling on a 5,000-customer deployment with 25% prosumer penetration and average UK grid spread.
Asso competes with Electron, Piclo, and peer.energy, all SaaS platforms with perpetual licensing models. Our positioning is different.
