Octopus Energy’s cloud-native platform Kraken Technologies will be utilised in Belgium to control heat pumps and other energy technologies to reduce household bills amid the energy crisis.

Findings from project DINO has indicated that local energy networks could see peak electrical loads increase by 80% by 2040 due to heat pumps, EVs and domestic batteries.

With the energy crisis forecasted to hit its peak in the upcoming winter and into 2023, power price forecasts released by Cornwall Insight revealed that the low marginal cost of wind turbines means when they are generating, prices will fall before 2030.
