As the world transitions to sustainable energy, millions of new wind energy systems are being integrated into power grids. As well as the number of new consumer solutions, such as electric charging stations is also rapidly increasing, and the integration of these new systems is putting a strain on distribution grids.
Envelio is a cloud-based smart grid platform providing a solution to this challenge. The Cologne-based company has developed the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), a software assistance system that transforms power grids into digital, flexible interactive smart grids. Through IGP grid operation management can be carried out digitally at a quicker, more cost-effective pace.
Born out of the Institute of High Voltage Technology at the RWTH Aachen, Envelio has since grown a steady customer base for itself and expanded on an international scale. Recognised as a clean-tech software company, Envelio is driving the change to sustainable energy.

I joined envelio because I knew that if we want to speed up the energy transition and the adoption of renewable energy resource we need to upgrade our electricity grids. It is awesome to see how we are increasingly colouring the world map with electricity lines with every onboarded customer.

No matter if you like to be in the office, work from home or occasionally from the beach, each working style is being accommodated at envelio. Moreover, as a parent I value very much the possibility to balance family life with work and it certainly helps that there are many other young parents in my team.

The energy grid is undergoing enormous change! Envelio is pioneering this change by enabling operates to adapt processes, planning and operating the grid. This has real impact in the energy transition and our solutions are asked for a reason!

Everyone at the company knows whats at stake. You will always find a listening ear for what is going great and what maybe not so much. And then we actually do something about it, together!

There is a weekly time budget (part of your work hours!) and a yearly monetary budget given to every permanent employee to use for learning new skills or topics (as they please). For example, I have a paid subscription to a learning platform for coding, while others like one-time courses paid for, or getting books provided to them. Also, it is possible for you to choose what you would like to work on depending on what interests you. Your interests and passions drive your work, not the other way around

Honesty and transparency are important to envelio, and this is shown in every level or aspect of communication, from the largest all-hands meeting communicating the achievements, downfalls, improvements and concerns, to the one-on-one meetings where a safe space is created and the employee can voice how they are REALLY doing. In the engineering department, we have a blameless process of going over mistakes, even major ones, instead, it is openly communicated what happened and what we can learn from this situation.

I joined envelio because I wanted to somehow contribute to the energy transition while diving into a tech-based industry, and envelio does just that. By digitalizing the tedious processes of monitoring, planning, and operating electrical grids, a faster integration of renewable energy generation, charging stations, and heat pumps is made possible. The best part is that you often hear quantitative results and feedback from customers, proving that your personal contribution, somewhere along the way, made a difference.
