ENSCHEDE, Netherlands & LONDON, May 6 — Pure Energie, a Dutch clean energy company, has selected Kraken – the AI-powered operating system transforming global utilities – to manage and optimize its consumer, wind, solar and battery portfolio across the Netherlands.
Kraken brings together grid-scale assets and consumer demand on the same platform, co-ordinating them as a single, intelligent portfolio. This enables Pure Energie to optimize demand and generation in real time – maximizing asset value and helping reduce imbalance costs.
The partnership will deliver an energy management system which includes retail balancing, day-ahead curtailment, intraday trading, imbalance optimization, and ancillary market access, alongside Kraken’s suite of advanced data and alerts services.
Kraken has integrated with Dutch TSO TenneT, as well as Pure Energie’s existing technology to ensure seamless, secure market access in the Netherlands and across Kraken’s international footprint.
As wind and battery capacity grows in the Netherlands, grid congestion and volatility are increasing. By intelligently coordinating generation, storage and demand in one system, Kraken helps ease pressure on the grid while maximizing the value of renewable energy and accelerating the energy transition.
Bert Frowijn, Managing Director of Pure Energie, said: “Our partnership with Kraken significantly improves the performance, reliability, and flexibility of our own assets and those of third parties. This allows us to accelerate the integration of renewable energy into the Dutch energy system – with its unique dynamics – while providing certainty and smart optimization. Kraken’s proven reliability and industry-leading optimization capabilities in combination with our in-depth trading knowledge, provides us a solid foundation for managing and optimizing our entire portfolio and standalone assets across all energy markets, from forward transactions to real-time dispatching.”
Charlotte Johnson, General Manager of Flexibility at Kraken, said: “The shift to renewables changes how the entire energy system needs to operate. It’s no longer about managing individual assets – it’s about orchestrating demand, wind, solar and storage together through one intelligent, connected operating system. Pure Energie is an innovative, forward-looking partner, working with Kraken to unlock the full potential of their portfolio while helping support a resilient grid.”
