Codibly

We're excited to announce that Codibly's own Aron Lazarchick will be presenting at FLEXCON - The Energy Flexibility Conference 2025, alongside Rolf Bienert, the Technical and Managing Director of the OpenADR Alliance, and Łukasz Kulczyński, Executive VP and Head of eMobility at Codibly. Their talk will dive into how a software-driven approach is essential for the future of the electric vehicle market.   They'll explore the current challenges facing CPOs, fleet operators, and utilities—from disconnected systems to a lack of unified protocols—and demonstrate how these issues create inefficiencies and hinder mass adoption.   Aron, Rolf, and Łukasz will also highlight how adopting industry-standard protocols like OpenADR and integrated software platforms can solve these complexities, reduce costs, and create new revenue streams. They will share a powerful case study, detailing how Codibly is architecting a future-ready V2G, Demand Response-ready platform based on open standards.   Join us at Flexcon 2025 to discover how we can build the future of flexible e-mobility together.   Can't make it to the presentation? Drop us a message to discuss how we can help you build an integrated, future-ready e-mobility platform.

The future of a resilient energy grid isn't just about advanced technology—it's about people. While the industry is making significant progress in deploying distributed energy resources and virtual power plants, a critical gap remains: customer engagement. A recent study found that only about 16% of customers with eligible smart devices are participating in demand response programs, highlighting that the biggest challenge isn't a lack of hardware, but a lack of participation. This low adoption rate stems from a simple disconnect: a lack of clear education and a perception of insufficient incentives. Customers often don't understand what these programs entail or how they truly benefit from them. This is where modern software and user-centric design come in. By creating intuitive apps and systems, we can deliver educational materials directly to customers, providing a seamless experience that makes participation transparent and straightforward. This approach builds trust and transforms a complex process into a rewarding experience, turning passive customers into active participants. For more insights into how a focus on education and clear incentives, delivered through smart software solutions, can transform demand response programs and unlock the full potential of a decentralized grid, visit our blog.

The transition to a decentralized and flexible energy system is well underway, and a core part of that journey is the conversation happening at FLEXCON - The Energy Flexibility Conference 2025 in Brussels. Codibly's strong representation will be on-site on September 24-25, including Bartosz Majewski, Łukasz Kulczyński, Oksana Wojtkiewicz, and Aron Lazarchick. They are focused on how software is enabling the shift from a supply-driven to a demand-driven grid, unlocking new value for everyone from utilities to end-users. We look forward to connecting with fellow innovators and leaders at FLEXCON. If you're attending, let's explore how a strong software foundation can help us all build a more flexible and resilient energy future.

Codibly is excited to announce our attendance at EVCharge Live UK 2025 on September 23-25 in Birmingham. This is the UK's largest event focused on infrastructure, investment, and installation, and we're eager to be part of the discussions that will accelerate the e-mobility transition. Our team, represented by Liam Callaghan, looks forward to connecting with industry leaders and sharing how our software platforms help manage smart fleets, enable grid integration, and ensure a seamless charging experience for the end-users. If you're attending, we invite you to connect with Liam to explore how a robust software foundation can future-proof your e-mobility strategy. See you in Birmingham!

We're still energized from a fantastic week at RE+ in Las Vegas! The energy at the conference was undeniable. Despite the shifting winds of federal policy, the mood was one of resilience and shared confidence in the industry's future. It was a powerful reminder that our transition to clean energy is not just a trend—it's an unstoppable movement, backed by solid market data. For instance, EV sales in the U.S. are projected to jump from 11% today to 27% by 2030, a clear signal of continued momentum.   One of the highlights of our week was a dinner we hosted with key clients and partners. We had a rich conversation about a topic central to our mission: driving interoperability in the industry. It's clear that unlocking the full potential of clean energy requires us all to work from a unified framework, ensuring that every asset, from solar panels to EVs, can communicate seamlessly.   Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with our team. We're excited to carry the momentum from RE+ into our work. If you're interested in continuing the conversation on interoperability, reach out to us directly.

In just a week and a half, the conversation on vehicle-grid integration is going to be front and center. The Vehicle-Grid Integration Council Evolve 2025 conference is a critical forum for shaping the future of a smarter grid, and we’re eager to be part of it. The path to a resilient, clean energy ecosystem depends on how effectively we can turn EVs into grid assets, and we’re excited to explore this with industry leaders. Our U.S. Lead in e-Mobility, Enoch Lenge, will be there to discuss our shared challenge and the innovative software solutions that can help. We look forward to connecting with fellow innovators to advance the VGI conversation and build a more connected future. If you’re attending, let’s talk about the technical and strategic opportunities ahead.

For years, utilities have relied on financial incentives to drive participation in demand response programs. But a recent report reveals a persistent challenge: high customer churn, often driven by concerns over comfort and control. This highlights a critical lesson—effective DR isn't just about the financial reward. It's about the customer experience. The solution lies in leveraging advanced software to deliver smarter, more targeted programs. By moving away from a blunt, one-size-fits-all approach, technology allows for shorter, less disruptive events that are barely noticeable to the customer. This builds a foundation of trust and reliability, which is far more valuable than a one-time payment. As the energy landscape becomes more complex, using a digital approach to put the customer first is the key to creating a truly scalable and sustainable DR program. For a deeper dive into the operational shifts and software innovations powering this new era of demand response, read our full article on the Codibly blog. You will find the link in the comments. 

We're heading to the UK for a crucial conversation on the future of e-mobility! Codibly is excited to announce our attendance at the EV SUMMIT in Oxford on September 17-18.

Big things are happening in Texas. We're diving into ERCOT's Aggregate Distributed Energy Resource pilot project, which is scaling up to a massive 160 megawatts of capacity for energy, non-spin, and ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service. This initiative highlights how Texas is using distributed energy to boost its grid. For a quick look at this project and why it's a key part of the state's energy strategy, check out our latest "Regs in 60s" video.
