We are taking blockchain from speculation to functionality.
We have recognized the functional core of blockchain technology and can apply it purposefully. While others are still discussing potentials, we are already achieving measurable results for companies that want to reduce their energy costs while becoming more sustainable.
OLI Systems combines Swabian engineering with an international vision - from Stuttgart to Hong Kong.

2015.
Two visionaries.
A burning problem. A revolutionary idea.
We were sitting in Stuttgart and observing a paradox: Germany invested billions in the energy transition, but digitalization did not progress. Companies installed solar panels and received ridiculous feed-in tariffs. Neighbors generated surplus electricity while others paid high electricity bills. The system was inefficient, unfair, and hostile to innovation.
"Why shouldn't companies trade energy directly with each other like other goods?" This simple question became the foundation of a technological revolution.
2025
The breakthrough
The energy crisis made OLI solutions economically attractive overnight.
2019 - 2021
The proof
Pilot after pilot confirmed the vision. TU Munich entrusted us with their research.
2021 - 2024
The transformation
Focus on SaaS and scalable solutions. From 2 founders to over 35 employees.
2016 - 2019
The pioneer era
First functional hardware developed while others were still philosophizing about blockchain.

Innovation through research solutions for practice
DynaNet:
Intelligent network prices instead of expensive network expansion
With DynaNet, we develop a scalable software solution for grid-friendly, dynamic electricity prices. Our open-source middleware connects grid forecasts with load flow analyses and calculates variable network fees that intelligently alleviate local bottlenecks. In the field test with the Saarlouis municipal utilities, we are testing the effects up to practical billing.
SURF:
Avoid network overload before it occurs
SURF develops a digital solution for the predictive management of decentralized energy systems. Through dynamic pricing signals and automated trading processes on our local flexibility platform, we prevent grid overloads without costly grid expansion. AI algorithms and certified smart meter gateway communication enable grid-friendly management according to § 14a EnWG.
DIVE:
Digital Identities for Energy Systems
The completed DIVE project developed a decentralized identity register for energy facilities based on Self-Sovereign Identity. Independent of central registers such as the MaStR, it enables verifiable, automated provision of master and measurement data. In practical scenarios, we successfully tested fine-grained origin certificates and accelerated supplier switching.
GrECCo:
Your systems are becoming intelligent network assistants
GrECCo develops a blockchain-based, grid-sensitive market mechanism for energy communities. Wallboxes, heat pumps, and battery storage are transformed into active grid stabilizers rather than additional loads by AI-supported bidding agents. The "OLI Community" app enables direct user interaction and forms the basis for local P2P energy trading.
