Embedded Build

Energy advice that ships as working software

When advice needs software, we build it into your processes in weeks, combining grid expertise, proven Skoon tools and custom code.
Not a platform and not a subscription. We build around your process, in your environment.

How it works

Three steps. Each one stands on its own: buy the first without committing to the next.

  1. Step 1 · 3 to 4 weeks

    Deep dive

    We map one process, its data and its decisions.

    You get: an architecture, a prototype and a build plan.

    Fixed scope · From €5,000 excl. VAT

  2. Step 2 · Phases of a few weeks

    Embedded Build

    We build the tool or AI agents inside your environment, one phase at a time.

    You get: working software your team uses in its daily work, with a full handover after each phase.

    Fixed price per phase

  3. Step 3 · Optional, monthly

    Ongoing partnership

    Maintenance, new skills or agents, and advice as regions, rules and contracts change. Only if you want it.

    You get: a tool that keeps up with the grid, and a senior adviser on call.

    Optional · Cancel monthly

Congestion work still runs on spreadsheets

Congestion teams and energy managers handle more requests, contracts and rule changes every quarter. Their tools have not kept up.

  • Spreadsheets. Capacity checks and flex calculations live in files that one person fully understands.
  • Manual triage. Every request is read, sorted and answered by hand, so the queue grows faster than the team.
  • One-off reports. Each analysis starts from scratch and ends as a PDF. The next question means doing it all again.

A report alone, or software alone, falls short

  • Traditional energy consultancy

    Knows the grid, hands over a report

    The advice is sound. Your team still does the work by hand once the consultants leave.

  • Generic AI agency

    Builds software, doesn't know the grid

    It ships code quickly, but doesn't know grid rules, grid-operator processes or congestion contracts.

  • Software platform vendor

    Fast to start, rented forever

    You pay for as long as you use it, and your process bends to their product.

  • Skoon

    The domain knowledge and the delivery

    One team that knows how a grid operator decides and builds the tool that follows it. You own the result, and the advice keeps working after we leave.

What we build

Examples from the problems we see most. Each one is built around your process, not taken off a shelf.

Every agent proposes; your team decides.

For businesses and municipalities

A congestion copilot

You put in a load profile. You get back the options that fit your site, with a report you can use straight away.

  • Battery. Peaks shaved behind the meter.
  • CSP. Your flexibility offered to the grid operator through a congestion service provider.
  • Non-firm ATO. Transport capacity that can be limited at agreed times.
  • Group contract. One capacity contract shared with neighbouring companies.

Based on our Decision Tool and 1,500+ modelled projects.

Every option comes with a ready-to-use report for your management team and your grid operator.

For grid operators

  • Triage of congestion requests

    Incoming requests sorted by location, capacity and urgency, each with a proposed next step for your team.

  • Drafting flex and CSP contracts

    First drafts built from your own templates and the current rules, ready for legal review.

  • Capacity-check reports

    Capacity checks produced from your grid data, in the same format every time.

  • Customer letters

    Clear letters to connected parties, drafted from the case file and checked by your team before they go out.

  • Congestion analysis

    Load and capacity per substation, refreshed whenever new data comes in.

Already running at a grid operator

Case · Dutch grid operator

An engagement tool for a Dutch grid operator, replacing hours of error-prone Excel work

The grid operator's flex team works with congestion service providers on every flex contract. That work lived in spreadsheets. We built a tool for it inside the team's own process.

The same people from Deep dive to delivery

No handover from advisers to a separate build team. The people who map your process are the people who build the tool.

Why Skoon

  • 9 years in the Dutch grid market

    Since 2017. We know the rules, the queues and the contracts your process has to follow.

  • Building blocks, not a blank page

    We reuse the tools and data behind our analyses, including a Decision Tool with more than 1,500 projects modelled. Most of each project is configuration rather than new code.

  • We know how grid operators decide

    We work with grid operators on pilots, handbooks and contracting. The tools we build follow how decisions are really made, so they hold up with the people who approve them.

  • Speed

    A prototype within the Deep dive and working software in weeks, not after a year-long IT project.

Ownership and security

You own what we build

  • You own the code, the data and the agents we build.
  • No lock-in: full handover and documentation possible after each phase.
  • The retainer is optional and can be cancelled monthly.

Security and compliance

  • Runs in your own tenant or on EU hosting.
  • Your data is never used to train models.
  • Data processing agreement as standard.
  • AI Act classification for each use case.
  • ISO 27001 certification in progress.
  • Designed with NIS2 requirements in mind.

Start with one process

A Deep dive maps it in 3 to 4 weeks, from €5,000 excl. VAT. Afterwards you decide whether we build it.
