Utilifeed welcomes Jönköping Energi AB as a new customer!

Briefly about Jönköping Energi AB:

As the city of Jönköping's local energy company, they have an important function in society, to provide their customers with electricity, district heating and city networks in everyday life and to develop new smart solutions that take them into the future. They are close to their customers and together with them they want to contribute to a sustainable society. Today, they provide 57,000 customers with light, power, heating, cooling and city networks. They have annual sales of SEK 1.3 billion and approximately 300 employees. Jönköping Energi is owned by the municipality and thier profits go back to the people of Jönköping, in the form of investments in the group, the municipality and through a strong local commitment.

We had the pleasure of asking some questions to Jönköping Energi's Dan Bruhn, AO Manager Heating and Cooling:

What improvements are you hoping to achieve in the work with Utilifeed?

Oh, not an easy question, I can more or less write an essay to exhaust this answer. The basis is to strengthen the brand for district heating as an energy source in the long term, where the customer will experience that they get a modern way of solving its heating with a substation that can be viewed and controlled digitally and where we can act proactively in the event of faults.

What advantages do you see with Utilifeed's platform/tools?

We primarily see Utilifeed's platform as an enabler for streamlining and developing our working methods around the district heating substations. We are transitioning from not having had any direct knowledge about the status of the substations, to being able to get a daily picture of what changes have happened. But we also get support in developing our pricing models, which I believe will be necessary to be able to get district heating to support the energy transition with more flexibility.

What do you hope to have achieved in 1 year, by working with Utilifeed?

That we have broken down our hopes into clear financial goals in the business, which in turn set expectations for the development of the business in terms of working methods. For example, on January 16 this year we had the record in power in our district heating network and we were then able to identify where in the network there are vulnerabilities in delivery capacity, my hope is to avoid possible future reinvestments in reinforcement lines in these areas, by being able to work on measures to address deficient substations.

We at Utilifeed are very happy that Jönköping Energi has chosen to cooperate with us and look forward to jointly setting the pace towards the energy system of the future!
