Product Owner - Digital Customer Portal

Reference ID:  8985

Function

Elia Group (Elia and 50HzT) is facing one of its major challenges: powering the decade of electrification. The energy transition and the massive electrification will accelerate in the coming months and years.

Increasing shares of sustainable energy resources and massive electrification generate a paradigm shift in the consumption behavior: demand will have to adapt to the available production. One of the key solutions is to foster the development of flexibility and, in particular, to unlock the flexibility located behind the head-meter of the consumer, while keeping this process seamless and beneficial for the consumer. In other words, the consumers and prosumers should be incentivized to consume when energy is largely available, which in the energy transition could be synonym of renewable greener energy.

 

The Portals and Platform product line builds the digital window of the Elia Group. Our portals focus on human-to-human interactions, as well as machine-to-machine developer portal interactions. Our platform is built to provide common building blocks, and to connect to the building blocks located on other platforms.
