?? Outdated billing systems are holding back the energy transition - and it’s time for an upgrade. As grids get smarter, more dynamic, and packed with renewables, the way we charge for energy can’t be stuck in the past. Yet, many utilities still rely on rigid, decades-old billing systems that can’t handle time-of-use pricing, real-time flexibility, or seamless integration with distributed energy resources. ?? The result? Higher costs, frustrated customers, and a transition that moves at a snail’s pace instead of a sprint. ?? Want to know why modern billing isn’t just a nice-to-have, but a necessity for the future of energy? Read more in this Utility Dive piece written by our own Emma Rodvien. #EnergyTransition #SmartBilling #Flexibility #FutureOfEnergy #Utilities

“You have amazing people at our utilities across the country, they want to innovate, they know the customer so well, let’s empower them to engage and deliver better experiences.” — nick chaset, EVP North America, OEG and CEO Octopus Energy US Nick and Amanda Rome, Chief Customer Officer of Xcel Energy, recently connected on the Utility Series at Zpryme to discuss everything from industry challenges to delivering clean and accessible energy solutions for customers. Watch the full video below ?? #energytechnology #energytech #energytransition #customerexperience #utilitymanagement #VPPs #renewables
I recently had the great honor to spend some time with Amanda Rome of Xcel energy to talk about how the electricity system is being re-shaped by clean energy and electrification. Hearing her share her vision for how Xcel is delivering a customer centric electric system was fascinating (with plenty of customer love in there too). Delivering net zero at scale when consumers are adopting millions of EV‘s, gigawatts of data centers are being built and the climate is changing as we’ve ever seen before is a daunting challenge. At Kraken we are deploying the tech that underpins the energy transition every single day, serving tens of millions of customers around the world, dozens of the largest energy companies and tens of thousands of MWs of clean generation. We have the tech, we have the business models and we have the people leading - like Amanda and Xcel - to build an energy system at scale that is clean, affordable, and reliable.

???How EVs Can Supercharge Grid Balancing ???The challenge? As EV adoption increases, charging demand is surging. If unmanaged, this could strain grids and drive up costs. But with smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, EVs can actually balance the grid instead of overwhelming it. ??Smart charging shifts EV demand to when renewables are abundant, reducing grid stress. ???V2G technology enables EVs to send power back to the grid when needed, acting as mobile batteries. ???Kraken’s AI-powered platform seamlessly integrates EVs, prioritizing individual customer charging preferences. By turning EVs into dynamic grid assets, we’re making energy cheaper, greener, and more resilient—a win-win for customers and utilities alike.
EV fleets participate in the UK grid’s balancing mechanism thanks to Kraken’s optimizations

?? Welcome to Kraken, Pete Curtice! We're thrilled to have you join us and help us make the biggest "green dent" possible! ??
Too young to retire! Seeking to make the biggest "green dent" possible! I’m thrilled to join Kraken Technologies as Head of Business Development for the Eastern U.S. In this role I will be laser focused on serving energy utilities that seek to decarbonize faster while enabling their customers to adopt low carbon solutions sooner. Leveraging AI, Analytics, and the Cloud, Kraken is accelerating the global adoption of #renewable energy and helping utilities worldwide in their modernization journey. We achieve this by being the end-to-end operating platform for energy utilities and they digitize, transform and decarbonize their energy system. Kraken is already making a significant #impact, positively affecting over 50 million energy customers by enabling utilities to use advanced data and machine learning capabilities to automate much of their energy supply chain. Kraken even helps manages utility-scale assets such as offshore wind, solar, and large-scale batteries, as well as handling hundreds of thousands of behind the meter devices, electric vehicles, and more! I’m so excited to join forces with Kraken CEO, Amir Orad, former Opower colleagues Lara Beers, Tyler Rogers, Marc Laitin, Matthew Ward and over 1,500 other Kraken Team members in this mission! Giddy Up!

?? Welcome to Kraken, Marc Laitin! We're thrilled to have you and excited to pull in all your expertise as we continue to grow! ??
I am thrilled to share that I have joined Kraken Technologies as their VP Product - Vertically Integrated Utilities. In this role I will be responsible for ensuring that Kraken's industry leading platform addresses the needs, challenges and opportunities faced by vertically integrated utilities. This is particularly important at this moment as we collectively experience the catastrophic impacts of global climate change, and face an urgent need to accelerate our transition to a decarbonized future. Kraken's enterprise SaaS platform supports that work by accelerating the global adoption of #renewable energy and helping utilities worldwide in their modernization journey. We achieve this by providing a constantly improving, easily configurable, end-to-end operating platform for energy utilities as they digitize, transform and decarbonize their energy system. Kraken is already making a significant impact, positively affecting over 50 million energy customers by enabling their energy providers to use advanced data and machine learning capabilities to automate much of their energy supply chain. Kraken even helps manages utility-scale assets such as offshore wind, solar, and large-scale batteries, as well as handling hundreds of thousands of behind the meter devices, electric vehicles, and more. When I rejoined the utility facing cleantech ecosystem a year ago with Jo-Jo Hubbard and her amazing team Electron I was excited to focus on a narrow (but important) solution to address the broader grid decarbonization challenge. But when the indefatigable Lara Beers connected me with the visionary James Eddison I saw a truly once in a lifetime high leverage opportunity to deploy my end-customer centric experience with utilities across the globe to support the design, implementation and deployment at scale of the next generation OS for utilities. While I was a bit like Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire at that point (they had me at hello), it took many more conversations with the multi-talented new CEO of Kraken Amir Orad, an old friend from my Opower days, Tyler Rogers, and many more to close the deal. I'm thrilled to be reconnected with so many former colleagues, including my fellow "new guy" Pete Curtice, and Matthew Ward, and the many new faces who have welcomed me to the wild and crazy world of a global, high growth enterprise software business in the utility world. Thank you everyone for your support on this journey and please reach out if you want to connect... We are hiring constantly (there were 75 people in my onboarding sessions!), there are a limitless set of interesting problems to work on, and the team is low ego, highly autonomous and motivated by impact.
