Solution · Energy utilities

Charging load you can actually dispatch.

Obelisk gives utilities and energy retailers a controllable view of EV charging: measured demand per site, schedules that respond to price and grid signals, and a settlement record for every adjustment delivered.

Overview

Demand that answers back.

What it does

Obelisk measures charging demand per site and per interval, adjusts charging sessions in response to price or grid signals, and records what adjustment was delivered against what was requested.

Who it is for

Utilities, energy retailers, aggregators and grid operators who need charging demand to be visible and controllable rather than inferred.

What it solves

EV charging is treated as unmanaged load: invisible until it appears on a substation profile, and impossible to bid into a flexibility product with confidence.

Why it matters

Charging is the largest new flexible load on the low-voltage network. Whether it is an asset or a constraint depends on whether it can be scheduled and evidenced.

Key capabilities

What a utility needs from charging.

Measured demand

Load per site, per point and per interval, in the same figures used for billing.

Signal response

Charging sessions adjust to price feeds, capacity limits or dispatch instructions.

Site-level limits

Connection ceilings enforced per site, with staged curtailment before the physical limit.

Tariff products

Support charging tariffs and off-peak propositions, per energy source, with the metering to back them.

Benefits

Flexibility with an audit trail.

Flexibility you can bid

Controllable capacity is measured per window rather than estimated from vehicle counts.

Peaks that move

Charging is shifted out of network peaks without leaving vehicles short.

Evidence for settlement

Every event carries the request, the response and the measured outcome.

A charging proposition to sell

Tariffs and off-peak products rest on real session data instead of profiles.

FAQ

Questions energy teams ask first.

Each charge point meters its own sessions and the site meter provides total load. Measurements are aggregated per interval and retained per site.

Price feeds, capacity limits from a grid operator, and dispatch instructions from an aggregator. The response is bounded by the departure times and minimum charge levels configured per site.

Yes. Each event stores the requested adjustment, the schedule change applied and the measured outcome, at the settlement granularity of the market.

No. Charge point metering complements the fiscal meter. Where a market requires certified metering for settlement, that device remains the reference.

Yes. The platform can run behind a utility brand, including the driver app and the customer-facing tariffs.
