The market overview provides property owners and energy supply companies with a comprehensive insight into the various EMS options and supports the selection of suitable solutions. Energie Zukunft Schweiz AG (EZS) publishes the Swiss Market Overview 2023 for Energy Management Systems (EMS). The study results can now be accessed interactively online.

The ongoing digitalisation of the energy industry is being driven significantly by the integration of energy management systems (EMS). They use advanced measuring devices and sensors to monitor energy flows in the building and beyond in real time and make targeted optimisations. These systems play a crucial role in the transformation from centralised to decentralised energy supply. They also support grid operators in meeting the challenges of uneven energy generation, consumption fluctuations and the increasing electrification of heat and mobility.

The EMS market has experienced strong growth in recent years, but this has also led to increasing complexity. In this context, the comprehensive EMS market overview from EZS, provides an up-to-date orientation aid for Swiss users.

The comparison tool enables an initial evaluation of different EMS systems and thus supports both property owners and energy supply companies in making informed decisions. It offers a filter function, detailed provider information and the possibility to compare different systems with each other.

The new Energy and Electricity Supply Act, which is expected to come into force on 01.01.2025, provides, among other things, for the formation of local electricity communities as well as the exemption of electricity storage systems from grid fees. This will create new business models in which EMS will play an important role. The EMS market overview serves as a guide to prepare for these changes.

The market overview is available free of charge at www.ems-vergleich.ch.
