The increasing adoption of rooftop solar PVs, EVs, batteries, smart products and other energy generation sources, have created both an opportunity and a challenge for the energy grid.

With the grid owners not having clear visibility over the location of these DERs or the voltage entering the grid, feeding back energy into the grid can potentially lead to instability.

Conversely, when these millions of distributed energy generators are identified and harmonized to actively supply back to the grid, apart from reducing the huge investment on infrastructure it also creates a more secure, reliable, cheaper and cleaner energy grid.

This is what OX provides – an open exchange platform to facilitate distributed asset visibility, harmonization and markets, it empowers the marketing and management of distributed energy into the grid.

Ox was created by Arnowa, a Smart technology innovator with excellence in the design and implementation of smart energy monitoring and management solutions and renewables such as smart Grids, PV systems, VPPs and other forms of DERs. Founded in Perth, Western Australia, Arnowa since the past decade has been helping various city councils across Australia and numerous Industries around the world adopt smart solutions to drive efficiency and sustainability into their operations. Realizing the impact of the shift towards Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)  on the stability of the grid systems, Arnowa brought together its expertise in the domain to launch the OX Platform to enable an open exchange of energy and facilitate the visibility and control of the various distributed assets.

Aiming to bring grid owners, stakeholders, prosumers and corporations on the same platform to allow a transparent and open exchange of energy, Arnowa brought OX to life.
