EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Who each solution is for
When to choose Fusebox OS
Choose Fusebox OS if you need:
-
Concrete hybrid-site EMS plus VPP and market execution workflows in one operational toolbox.
-
A platform tuned to BRPs/BSPs, aggregators, EPCs and IPPs who want to run flexibility under their own brand and market roles.
-
Multi-country, multi-TSO rollout with a repeatable core and the ability to integrate with your existing trading/ETRM stack.
-
Broad asset coverage from utility-scale down to C&I and smaller assets, including aggregator-of-aggregators models.
-
Demand response as a first-class capability and strong multi-asset site operations.
-
Fast time-to-revenue, typically 1–6 months depending on whether new TSO connections must be built.
-
A DIY-friendly architecture without vendor lock-in, backed by ready modules and committed development capacity when needed.
When to choose Amp X
Choose Amp X if you need:
-
Grid-aware optimisation and digital twin–driven orchestration across networks or feeders.
-
Non-wires alternatives and utility-wide DER orchestration programs as the primary objective.
-
A platform whose centre of gravity is network planning and system optimisation rather than detailed site EMS and day-to-day market operations for C&I portfolios.

WHERE FUSEBOX OS WINS
Fusebox provides site-level EMS for hybrid assets and ties it directly to portfolio orchestration and market execution. This matters when you need one platform that can both run the site and monetise flexibility through repeatable workflows.
Fusebox is tuned to operators who need to run commercial flexibility programs under their own market roles, brand and trading partner model, with multi-tenant and white-label capability.
Fusebox is designed to productise EMS+VPP as a reusable toolbox across many customer portfolios and markets, rather than as a bespoke optimisation project per utility or region.
Fusebox is built to operate from utility-scale to C&I and smaller assets, supports demand response and multi-asset sites, and brings deep experience integrating many asset types into tradable portfolios.
Fusebox is designed as the stable layer between your infrastructure and specialist vendors, enabling best-of-breed composition and swaps without rebuilding the execution layer, backed by configurable modules and committed development capacity when needed.
WHERE AMP X WINS
IDEAL CUSTOMER FIT BREAKDOWN
Who should choose Fusebox OS
-
Utilities, BRPs/BSPs, aggregators, EPCs, IPPs and asset funds building and scaling flexibility as a commercial business line.
-
Organisations that need one platform for hybrid-site EMS, portfolio aggregation and market execution across multiple TSOs and countries.
-
Teams that want white-label capability, a DIY core without vendor lock-in, and fast deployments to revenue.
Who should choose Amp X
-
Utilities, DSOs/TSOs and large energy companies running grid-aware optimisation or non-wires alternatives programs as the primary objective.
-
Organisations comfortable keeping site EMS/BMS with other vendors while using Amp X primarily as the digital optimisation layer above.
-
Teams prioritising network planning and system optimisation over day-to-day EMS+VPP operations for C&I portfolios.
STRATEGIC POSITIONING ANGLE
Amp X is oriented toward AI and digital twin–driven, grid-aware optimisation and utility-scale DER orchestration. Fusebox OS is the operational EMS + VPP backbone for energy companies and partners that need concrete hybrid-site control plus portfolio aggregation and market execution across TSOs and countries, with fast time-to-revenue, broad asset coverage, multi-tenant and white-label capability, and a DIY architecture that avoids vendor lock-in.
