Intelligent energy management for network operators
Most operators hit a ceiling — not from lack of demand, but from electrical constraints. Monta's energy management removes that ceiling: more charge points, same fuse, lower cost per session.
Trusted by 1000+ operators around the world
Run every energy capability on one infrastructure
Load Management
Distribute power across all charge points within your site's fuse limit — automatically. Add more chargers without upgrading your electrical connection or risking a trip.
Smart Charging
Schedule sessions based on day-ahead energy prices, carbon intensity, or renewable availability. Optimize for cost savings, low emissions, or renewable share.
Charge Intents
Set a target charge level and departure time per session. Monta ensures every vehicle is ready when needed — scheduling optimally within those parameters.
Demand Charging
Monitor peak power as it accumulates and set caps to prevent expensive demand charge spikes before they happen.
Energy Integrations
Connect external meters, solar inverters, and grid signals — Perific, ABB ModBus, MQTT, Shelly; integrate the data sources your site already has.
Plug in the meters you already run
Real-time power measurement for dynamic load management.
MQTT meters
Connect any MQTT-capable meter to Monta's broker. Most flexible option for custom hardware deployments.
Perific meters
Wi-Fi connected meters reporting via Perific cloud backend. Commonly paired with Easee charge points for local load management.
ABB ModBus meters
Connected to charge points via ModBus protocol. Sends meter data through OCPP DataTransfer messages.
Shelly Integration
Wi-Fi connected energy meters with a local API and no cloud dependency. Ideal for residential and light commercial sites.
Trade spreadsheets for real-time control
Manage your whole network from one place:
Bulk controls
update power settings network-wide, no editing configs one by one
Scheduled power limits
set limits in advance instead of reacting after the fact
Live dashboards
see real-time power data, no chasing meter readings
One UI for troubleshooting
when a meter goes offline or an inverter stops reporting, fix it where you already handle uptime, diagnostics, and driver support
Add energy capabilities without adding complexity
Every energy capability uses the infrastructure you already rely on. Add energy intelligence without adding another vendor.
One login
For energy and operations. No separate systems to manage. Access load management, smart charging, solar integration, demand control, and all operational tools from a single interface.
One data model
Session, site, and energy data. All addressable via API. Pull charging sessions, power limits, meter readings, and optimization settings through the same data structure you already use.
One troubleshooting UI
External meters, solar, and charge points. Single pane of glass. When an external meter goes offline or a solar inverter stops reporting, you handle it in the same place you troubleshoot uptime and driver issues.
FAQs
What is energy management for EV charging?
It controls how electrical power is distributed to charge points, when charging sessions happen, and how energy costs are monitored — load management, smart charging, solar integration, and demand charging controls.
Which energy management features do I need for my network?
Start with what hurts today: fuse limits or breaker trips → load management. Demand charges spiking → demand control. Slow charging during peak hours → smart charging. Unused solar → solar integration.
Can these features work together?
Yes. Load management sets the power limit, smart charging schedules within that limit, solar integration adjusts in real time, and demand control caps the maximum draw — each respects the constraints set by the others.
What plan level do I need for energy management features?
Load management requires Pro, Business, or Enterprise plans. Demand charging and advanced energy integrations are Enterprise-tier features.
How do I get started with energy management?
If you already use Monta for charge point management, it's configuration, not a separate product — set up your site topology in the Energy Portal and choose your optimization mode.
