Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present: Entelios AG – Demand Response for Germany and Europe. Founded in 2010, headquartered in Munich, with another office in Berlin. Already 10 team members strong.

The founders are Oliver Stahl, Stephan Lindner and myself. Oliver has fallen in love with the Demand Response (DR)  model at MIT and Harvard where he was a Sloan fellow. DR is implemented by several players in the U.S. already, and EnerNOC and Comverge are public companies. We believe it’s the ideal time to introduce DR to the European energy market, as more and more renewable, but intermittent, energy sources are added to the grid. DR is adding new reserve power and helps with peak shaving, thereby reducing the need for expensive and dirty peak power plants.

At Entelios, we believe Demand Response is the cleanest, fastest and least expensive way to address the climate change, energy security and peak oil challenges. We call it “fast green”.

I have attached a quick and readable introduction to Entelios and DR here as a PDF file. We just submitted the plan to the GE Ecomagination Challenge. Please have a look and vote for us!
