Municipalities and smart cities

A municipality’s scattered facilities, one energy view

Service buildings, social facilities, workshops and field sites are managed under separate subscriptions and separate invoices. GenieBlocks brings their electricity data, invoices and maintenance onto one platform, and the same architecture scales from a single building to a city. If data must stay in-house, the platform can run on the organisation’s own servers (on-prem).

Three common problems

  1. Many subscriptions, many invoices

    Every facility is a separate subscription and a separate invoice. Spotting a wrong or unexpected invoice means comparing many line items by hand.

    Explore: Invoices and savings

  2. Extra costs from reactive power and capacity

    When a facility’s power factor correction fails, a reactive energy charge can appear on the invoice, often noticed only when the bill arrives. Without tracking peak demand, installed power can’t be planned properly either.

  3. Building-level reporting

    Reporting consumption by building, tracking savings targets and calculating emissions means collecting data from different sources by hand.

How the platform addresses them

The modules that map to these problems. All modules run on one data backbone, in the same interface.

  • Buildings

    Building and block identity, location and consumption.

  • Invoice Tracking

    Tracking and checking the invoices issued to the site.

  • Supply Contracts

    Supply contract and tariff tracking.

  • Reactive Power & Penalty Risk

    Power factor, compensation threshold and likely penalty.

  • Installed Power & Capacity

    Allocated power, peak demand and night-time base load.

  • Data Quality

    Tracking of missing data and offline meters.

  • Energy Baseline

    Deviation of consumption from the baseline period.

  • Savings Score

    Savings score and targets.

  • Reports

    Ready-made energy reports.

  • Carbon & Sustainability

    Scope 2 location-based and market-based emissions.

  • Alarms

    Open and closed alarm events; an alarm is the start of a workflow.

  • Genie AI Agent

    An AI agent that makes recommendations and works with approval.

Genie recommends, you approve. Critical load operations always require human approval. Meet Genie

Where the data comes from

You start without replacing your existing systems. Today the platform takes data from:

  • OSOS
  • Modbus (RTU / TCP)
  • LoRaWAN
  • REST API
  • MCP

Connected in the setup project: M-Bus · IEC 62056-21 · RS-485 · Pulse output · Analogue (4-20 mA, 0-10 V) · MQTT · Databases on your own servers

How we work

The platform and Genie come from GenieBlocks. On-site installation, devices and maintenance are carried out with local solution partners as needed. A project can start directly with GenieBlocks or through a solution partner.

How we work

Regulation

For public-sector buildings, under article 9 of the regulation, buildings with a total construction area of at least 10,000 m² or annual energy consumption of at least 250 toe appoint an energy manager or contract this service. On a campus, the construction areas of separate buildings are added together; consumption is based on the average of the last three years. Obliged parties submit their energy consumption data to the Ministry by the end of March each year.

Example use case

How it works: Seeing reactive power risk before the invoice

  1. In a service building’s AMR (OSOS) data, inductive reactive consumption starts rising relative to active consumption.

  2. The Reactive Power & Penalty Risk module shows the power factor and the approach to the threshold. Genie prepares a draft recommending a check of the compensation panel.

  3. The energy unit approves the draft, and a work order is opened for the maintenance team.

  4. After the fix, the power factor is tracked on the same screen; at the end of the period the invoice is checked line by line in Invoice Tracking.

This is an example use case; it does not describe a specific organisation or result.
