Integrated Energy Solutions for Africa

Four interconnected platforms — powered by the NuruCore EMS edge intelligence layer and Magistrala cloud platform — designed to unlock the full potential of Kenya's liberalised energy market.

01 — Net Metering

Net Metering as a Service

The smart meter mandated under Kenya's EPRA net metering regulations is only the measurement layer. NuruCore EMS is the intelligence layer — deciding when to charge batteries vs. export surplus power to maximise bill credit accumulation, when to curtail generation to avoid anti-islanding trips, and how to forecast production for next-day optimisation. We manage the entire net metering lifecycle end-to-end.

Target: C&I facilities with existing or planned solar — eligible under EPRA Legal Notice 104
  • End-to-end EPRA application management
  • Bidirectional smart meter integration via Modbus RTU/TCP
  • Grid code compliance & anti-islanding safety (Zephyr M4F)
  • Battery charge/export optimisation (AI edge inference)
  • EPRA Compliance-as-a-Service — automated regulatory reporting
  • Open Access compliance monitoring for large industrial consumers

02 — Virtual Power Plants

Virtual Power Plants

Every NuruCore EMS device deployed at a C&I site is a potential VPP node — already collecting real-time telemetry, running AI inference, and executing dispatch commands. Our VPP platform aggregates these edge nodes across industrial zones (Athi River, Ruiru, Thika, Mombasa EPZ) into software-managed micro-VPP clusters. The progression: single-site EMS → multi-site portfolio DERMS → licensed VPP operator with EAPP regional trading.

  • NuruCore EMS edge nodes as VPP-ready DER assets
  • Portfolio DERMS layer — multi-site aggregation via Magistrala
  • Micro-VPP clusters for industrial zones
  • Demand response, peak shaving & bilateral DR contracts
  • KPLC ancillary service participation & EAPP regional trading (2027+)
  • M-PESA Daraja API — real-time prosumer credit settlement

03 — Mini-Grids

Smart Mini-Grids

Our mini-grid architecture combines solar, micro-hydro, battery storage, and NuruCore EMS digital controls into a complete power system. Grid-connected with autonomous island mode capability — NuruCore EMS's Zephyr M4F safety state machine handles grid-forming control and anti-islanding in real time. Every unit has a clear pathway from standalone mini-grid to future VPP node.

  • Solar + hydro + BESS + NuruCore EMS digital architecture
  • Autonomous islanding & grid-forming control (Zephyr RTOS M4F)
  • Real-time relay control via CAN BMS & DI/DO
  • Predictive maintenance via AI anomaly detection on BESS & PV assets
  • Remote monitoring via Magistrala & Grafana dashboards
  • Pathway from mini-grid to VPP aggregation node

04 — Fleet V2G

Fleet Vehicle-to-Grid

Turn electric vehicle fleets into grid assets. Our bidirectional charging infrastructure aggregates fleet state-of-charge across logistics, ride-hailing, and e-matatu operations — scheduling V2G services while integrating second-life batteries for extended storage capacity.

  • Bidirectional charging infrastructure
  • Fleet SoC aggregation and scheduling
  • V2G grid services for logistics and ride-hailing
  • E-matatu fleet integration
  • Second-life battery integration programme
  • Peak demand management
