Company
Every building has flexibility.
We make it useful.
Wattif is demand flexibility infrastructure for the energy transition. We orchestrate commercial building loads — HVAC, refrigeration, lighting — to create capacity, cut costs, and unlock grid services. Software-only, at portfolio scale.
The grid needs flexibility.
Commercial buildings have it in abundance.
The energy transition is creating a fundamental mismatch. Renewables are intermittent. EV charging is peaky. Grid infrastructure takes years to upgrade. But sitting inside every commercial building — every fuel station, every supermarket, every logistics depot — are loads with enormous untapped flexibility.
HVAC systems that can pre-cool. Refrigeration with thermal mass to coast on. Lighting that can dim imperceptibly. Together, 20-35% of a building's load is flexible without any impact on occupants or operations.
Wattif exists to unlock that flexibility. Not with hardware or construction. With software that connects to existing building systems and orchestrates them in real-time — creating EV capacity, cutting demand charges, enabling grid services, and reducing carbon. Site by site. Portfolio by portfolio.
What we believe
The cheapest, fastest grid upgrade is the one you don't have to build.
Every dollar spent on demand flexibility avoids $3-5 in grid infrastructure. Every site we orchestrate comes online in weeks, not the 18-36 months a grid upgrade takes. The maths is clear. The technology is ready.

At the intersection of Southeast Asia's energy transition, building commercial deployment across APAC, Europe, and Australia.
What we've built
A software platform that turns existing building systems into flexible, dispatchable assets.
Real-time orchestration engine
MILP-based optimization that dispatches load shifts every 5 minutes. Connects to existing HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting via standard protocols. No hardware required.
Weeks from contract to live
Software connects to existing building management systems. No construction, no rewiring. A fuel station or retail store goes from zero to orchestrated in weeks.
Built for portfolios, not projects
One optimization model, templated across identical building types. Configure once for a fuel station format, deploy to every station in the network.
Aggregator-ready dispatch
API-based dispatch interface that makes commercial building flexibility visible and controllable for VPP operators, energy retailers, and grid services.

Why demand flexibility is the cheapest grid upgrade
Every commercial building has 20-35% of flexible load hiding in plain sight. The maths on unlocking it vs. building new infrastructure isn't even close.
The EV rollout has a grid problem. Orchestration is the fix.
Fuel retailers and fleet operators are hitting the same wall: grid connections weren't built for EV. Here's how site-level orchestration changes the equation.
From single site to portfolio: the template effect
When every building in a chain runs the same load types, one optimization model scales to hundreds of sites. That's the economics that make demand flexibility inevitable.
Making commercial loads dispatchable for aggregators
VPPs have cracked residential batteries. The next frontier is commercial demand flexibility — and it needs a different kind of orchestration layer.
