By integrating with SAP Distributed Energy Resources, Volue Grid Connector and Volue Grid Optimizer help distribution system operators digitalize grid connection processes and proactively manage low‑voltage grid operations
Oslo, Norway - March 2026 - Volue, a global leader in electrification and energy technology, today announced that its Automated Grid Connection (listed as Grid Connector) and Grid Optimizer solutions are now available on SAP® Store, the online marketplace for SAP and partner offerings.
The SAP‑certified solutions integrate with SAP Distributed Energy Resources and support distribution system operators (DSOs) in managing increasing complexity in low‑voltage grids from growing volumes of customer connection requests to more active, data‑driven grid operation. SAP highlights the value of combining Volue’s solutions with its Distributed Energy Resources platform:
“Combining Volue's Grid Optimizer and Grid Connector with SAP Distributed Energy Resources empowers utilities to handle growing demand for grid connections, gain real-time visibility across the network, and turn distributed energy resources from a grid challenge into a managed opportunity,” says Mateu Munar, Senior Director, Industry Business Unit Utilities, SAP.
Why partnering with SAP?
SAP is one of the most established enterprise software providers in the global energy industry. SAP solutions are used by over 90% of Forbes Global 2000 utilities worldwide and support more than 5800 utility customers globally — powering customer management, billing, service, asset management, analytics, and core utility operations.
This holistic approach ensures that DSOs can seamlessly manage the entire lifecycle of their activities, integrating customer engagement, financial investment, meter-to-cash asset commissioning, and operational maintenance into a unified system. By leveraging SAP’s capabilities, DSOs can achieve greater efficiency, transparency, and consistency across all business processes.
Volue Grid Connector helps DSOs digitalize and standardize grid connection and grid change requests through a customer self‑service portal. By automating technical feasibility assessments based on grid topology and load data, the solution reduces manual handling, shortens processing times, and improves consistency across cases. Automated cost calculations and customer‑specific quotations support faster responses and more transparent customer communication, while triggering downstream workflows directly in SAP.
By seamlessly integrating with SAP, the solution accesses relevant data to provide accurate cost estimates for installing distributed energy resource (DER) assets. This process not only enables tailored quotations and speeds up customer responses, but also automatically initiates master data creation and downstream workflows within SAP, ensuring greater transparency and efficiency in customer communications.
Volue Grid Optimizer enables DSOs to monitor, forecast, and optimize low‑voltage grid performance. By forecasting consumption, production, and potential bottlenecks, the solution supports proactive congestion management, smarter load shifting, and more efficient use of existing grid capacity. This helps reduce operational risk, improve grid reliability, and limit the need for costly peak‑capacity investments. Grid Optimizer also supports the integration of decentralized energy resources such as electric vehicles, solar, and batteries.
“Making both Grid Connector and Grid Optimizer available on SAP Store is an important step in helping utilities digitalize the full lifecycle of low‑voltage grid operations,” says Daniela Haldy‑Sellmann, General Manager Volue Distribution and Asset Operation. “Together, the solutions enable DSOs to move from reactive handling to more transparent, data‑driven, and proactive grid management within their existing SAP landscape.”
