Business Partnerships
KWP⁴ Consortium
To meet the German government's climate goals by 2045, municipalities are required to create and implement heat plans. To offer municipalities the necessary combination of expertise and know-how, the companies DBI, INFRACON, IE2S, and NeulandQuartier formed the KWP⁴ Consortium at the end of last year. With their extensive and long-standing experience, the KWP⁴ Consortium provides efficient, concrete, well-founded, and accepted municipal heat planning.
For the simulation and modelling of energy systems, DBI offers its extensive georeferenced database. INFRACON contributes expertise in the green transformation of energy infrastructures, from feasibility studies to implementation planning and construction support. IE2S brings its experience in managing complex multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects, as well as its energy sector expertise, to the project. NeulandQuartier ensures that the needs of local citizens are considered from the start, incorporating community acceptance into the planning phase through effective communication.
Together, we are committed to delivering sustainable, efficient, and community-focused energy solutions.

ladeplan
The partnership between ladeplan and IE2S enables us to offer our clients a comprehensive and tailored solution for the planning of charging infrastructure.
In a time when the electrification of transport is becoming increasingly important, proactive and strategic planning of charging points is crucial. The AI-powered tool developed by Ladeplan, for instance, analyzes the real-time utilisation of charging points across Germany and Europe to identify optimal locations for charging infrastructure.
IE2S brings extensive expertise in energy supply and infrastructure. Our experts from various fields – from urban planning to the energy sector – ensure that all technical, economic, and legal aspects are considered. The collaboration between Ladeplan and IE2S guarantees that our clients are not only meeting current requirements but are also prepared for future challenges and opportunities in the charging infrastructure sector. Together, we are able to develop innovative solutions that are not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable, contributing significantly to the mobility transition.
Elli
The strategic partnership between Elli and IE2S focuses on the marketing of the innovative Flexpole technology from Elli. The Flexpole is a battery-buffered charging solution for electric vehicles that offers numerous benefits: The buffer storage battery relieves the power grid, allowing charging stations to operate even in locations with limited grid capacity.
The charging station can store energy during times of low electricity prices and use it when needed, reducing operating costs and enabling high power output even with limited grid connection capacity. The buffer battery also significantly reduces grid connection costs. With smart integration into the infrastructure, the Flexpole allows surplus energy from photovoltaic systems to be stored in the battery. Additionally, the battery ensures uninterrupted energy supply to the charging station in case of grid disturbances.
Through this partnership, the market acceptance of the Flexpole technology is increased, and its presence is further expanded.
EEBUS Initiative e.V.
The EEBUS Initiative e.V. develops, in collaboration with its member companies and associations, a communication standard for energy-relevant devices and systems.
The standard covers the entire communication chain, from the grid operator and energy supplier to the end device (such as heat pumps, charging stations, battery storage, PV inverters, and household appliances). As a registered, non-profit association, the EEBus Initiative ensures that the results of its working groups and the scientific findings from research projects are incorporated into the EEBUS specification and subsequently into national (DKE, FNN) and international bodies (CEN, Cenelec, ETSI, IEC, and ISO).
IE2S is committed to advancing the standardisation, interoperability, continuity, and security of data paths in collaboration with EEBUS. Together, we focus on a holistic view of the energy and mobility ecosystem.
