Flexviz

Real Time Visibility for Smarter Energy Decisions

Flexviz connects Distributed Energy Resource (DER) owners and utilities, showing live flexibility across the grid for smarter, lower-cost energy decisions.

What is Flexviz?

Developed with the support of Ara Ake, Flexviz is trusted across New Zealand’s energy sector.

Flexviz acts as a shop window for energy flexibility in New Zealand, making the invisible visible. It displays real time data from DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) such as solar panels, batteries and EV chargers.

Updated every 5 minutes, the platform helps distribution and transmission utilities see where flexibility is available. This supports smarter and faster decisions across the network.

Curious how much flexibility is available now?

You can now explore live flexibility across the grid, updated every five minutes. See where distributed energy is available and how it contributes to a smarter and more responsive network.

Why Flexibility Matters

New Zealand’s electricity demand is forecast to nearly double by 2050. Without smarter systems, the cost of upgrading infrastructure could be massive.

By unlocking flexibility through platforms like Flexviz, the grid can avoid costly upgrades and operate more efficiently.

Who Uses Flexviz?

Whether you are managing the grid or enabling it, Flexviz helps you see and use flexibility when it matters.

Distribution and transmission utilities – Gain visibility into local flexibility and reduce strain on your network.
Energy Aggregators or Flexibility Coordinators – Help bundle and manage flexibility from multiple DER sites, making it available to the grid.
DER owners – Make your flexibility visible and monetisable, whether it comes from solar, battery, EV chargers or other sources.

FAQs

What data does Flexviz show?

Flexviz displays real-time available flexibility and avoided grid imports, refreshed every 5 minutes. Data is aggregated at each GXP and is visible to authorised utilities.

How do I connect my DERs?

You can connect using a certified OpenADR-compliant client (e.g. FlexSplice Edge), or any other certified device. Support for IEEE 2030.5 connectivity will be available from Q4 2025.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Flexviz is designed to handle commercially sensitive data securely. Data is encrypted, access-controlled, and complies with best practices in energy data exchange.
