Chapter 02
01
Asset-by-asset detection of every PV system and battery in the territory, classified by network position and regulatory regime.
02
Co-optimisation of self-consumption, retail tariff arbitrage, and wholesale imbalance positions — across both regimes, simultaneously.
03
A productised view of value per customer cohort, ready for the retail team to design tariffs, bundles, and shared-savings offers.
Chapter 03
By mapping every euro back to its regulatory regime, Beebop produced the first cross-regime value stack Romande Energie's retail and trading teams could share. Imbalance costs fell 15% across the live portfolio, and the team walked away with a €680k product business case — the foundation for new flexibility-linked customer offerings now in pilot.
