Asso P2P Energy
Intelligence Platform

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.

The Problem

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.

11.5p/kWh

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.

£0

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.

2019/944

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.

The Solution: Three-Layer Architecture

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.

1

Grid Edge Layer: Smart Metering & Real-Time State

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.

2

Routing Intelligence Layer: P2P Matching Engine

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.

3

Provider Revenue Layer: White-Label SDK & Billing Integration

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.

Economics

Conservative modelling on a 5,000-customer deployment with 25% prosumer penetration and average UK grid spread.

Provider Revenue Model

Active prosumers (25% of 5k customers)1,250
Average surplus per prosumer per day4.5 kWh
P2P trades routed (70% efficiency)3,937 kWh/day
Provider margin per kWh (3p capture)£0.03

Customer Economics

Prosumer: P2P sell price vs export rate+4–6p/kWh vs Smart Export Guarantee
Consumer: P2P buy price vs retail-3–5p/kWh below standard tariff
Annual saving per active prosumer£85–£140
Annual saving per active consumer£45–£90
Customer churn impactSignificant reduction. Customers with P2P benefit do not leave.
Net resultBoth sides of the trade win. Provider margin comes from the spread, not from customers.

Competitive Landscape

Others rent. Asso transfers.

You invest once. You own the technology, the IP, and the revenue stream, indefinitely.

Integration & Compliance

Built for enterprise integration and regulatory compliance from the ground up. No workarounds, no grey areas.

REST API + Webhooks

Full REST API for real-time data, trade history, and configuration. Webhook support for billing platform updates on trade settlement. OpenAPI 3.0 documented.

White-Label SDK

Customer-facing web and mobile SDK branded with your identity. No Asso branding visible to your customers. Embed directly in your existing customer portal.

Billing Integration

Pre-built connectors for SAP IS-U, Salesforce Energy, and generic REST billing APIs. P2P trades appear as a separate line item on customer invoices automatically.

Ofgem Compliant

Designed under UK Smart Export Guarantee and EU Directive 2019/944 frameworks. P2P trading explicitly enabled. Full audit log meets REMIT reporting requirements.

GDPR + Data Sovereignty

All customer energy data stays on your infrastructure. Private cloud or on-premise deployment. No third-party data processors. GDPR Article 25 (privacy by design) compliant.

10-Week Deployment

Weeks 1–4: smart meter hardware rollout. Weeks 5–7: matching engine integration. Weeks 8–9: SDK integration and billing testing. Week 10: live with first prosumer cohort.

Licensing Options

Structured for evaluation, regional deployment, or full acquisition. Pricing on request. Depends on customer base size and geography.

Tier 1

Annual License

12-month platform licence for a pilot deployment of up to 500 customers. Includes matching engine, SDK, API access, and technical support. Renews annually. Ideal for proof-of-concept with a defined customer cohort before full rollout.

Tier 2

Territory License

Exclusive regional deployment rights (defined DSO zone or country). Full platform including smart meter hardware, matching engine, white-label SDK. Unlimited customer scale within territory. Priced on customer base and geographic scope. Includes 24-month firmware support SLA.

Tier 3

IP Acquisition

Full transfer of all intellectual property: firmware, matching engine source code, white-label SDK, API documentation, and hardware designs. One-time acquisition fee. No ongoing Asso involvement required. Option for a 12-month technical transition support package. The technology becomes yours, indefinitely.
