How can I save smartly with my energy assets?

Using your energy smartly doesn't have to be complicated. FlexiO automatically adjusts your consumption to the most cost-effective strategy. The platform takes into account dynamic energy tariffs, peak usage, your solar production, and – if you have one – your electric vehicle. This way, you consume more of your own energy, charge your battery and car intelligently, and avoid unnecessary costs. All you have to do is enjoy the benefits.

How can I save more through grid balancing?

Your energy assets can do more than just power your own home. With FlexiO, you can connect your energy assets to a virtual battery that helps balance the electricity grid. LIFEPOWR provides the technology, and you save even more on your energy bill.

How do I avoid costs during negative injection tariffs?

FlexiO helps you avoid costs during negative injection tariffs by intelligently managing your energy assets.

How does FlexiO impact the lifespan of your home battery?

The biggest mistake you can make with a smart home battery? Not using them for fear of wear and tear. Smart home batteries help you increase self-consumption, save on your energy bills and contribute to a more stable power grid. Yet we often hear the same question: 'Won't my battery wear out faster if I let it be smart?' The answer: no. More than that, by using your battery actively and smartly, you just get more value out of it, all without sacrificing battery life and warranty.

What's the difference between EMS and EMS+?

A traditional EMS focuses on saving energy, often by following fixed schedules and market prices. EMS+ (FlexiO) goes further. It gives you insight into your true energy costs, not just market rates, but also your distribution charges, grid fees and bespoke tariffs. And thanks to self-learning algorithms, it forecasts your behaviour up to 48 hours ahead, adapting to real conditions such as cloud cover or unexpected demand.

What is the capacity tariff in Flanders?

Savings & Earnings

capaciteitstarief, vlaanderen, basis, deel, berekend, maandpiek, sinds, elektriciteitsfactuur, daarbij, netkosten, distributiekosten, totaalverbruik, hoeveel, tegelijk, afneemt, piekvermogen, piekverbruik

Since 2023, the capacity tariff has been part of the electricity bill in Flanders. Under this system, a portion of the grid charges (distribution costs) is no longer based solely on total energy consumption, but also on the amount of electricity used simultaneously — the peak power demand.
The capacity tariff is calculated based on the average of the highest 15-minute power peaks (in kW) recorded each month.FlexiO actively monitors this by discharging your battery during peak moments and charging your EV smartly to keep your month peak low. You can check your current monthly peak in the MyFlexiO app.

Can I install the FlexiObox myself?

Installation & Activation

flexiobox, installeren, gecertificeerde, geïnstalleerd, geconfigureerd, flexio-installateur, sluit, configureert, koppeling, omvormer, activeert, flexio-account, communiceert, lifepowr, installers, knop, inverter

No, the FlexiObox must be installed and configured by a certified installer. The installer correctly connects the FlexiObox, configures the link with your inverter, activates your FlexiO account, and ensures everything communicates properly. You can find a certified installer via our website.

What are the different statuses of grid balancing?

Grid Balancing

verschillende statussen, netbalancering, flexio, besparingen, getest, ondertussen, slim, energiefactuur, stand-by, geregistreerd, actieve, deelname, balancing, fcr, besparing

There are three statuses for grid balancing: In evaluation, Stand‑by, and Active.

In evaluation: your system is being technically tested (up to 12 weeks) and FlexiO already works automatically for local savings on your energy bill.

Stand‑by: your system is registered for grid balancing but is not actively participating because local savings take precedence; FlexiO automatically chooses the most economical option.

Active: you are actively participating in grid balancing; your battery is controlled for grid stability and you earn income from grid balancing.

You can view the current status in the MyFlexiO app under “System status”.
