Episode 113: Smart Grids, Smarter Energy: EUTO’s Vision for the Future

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jos Röling welcomes Vincent van Kalkeren and Ali Karademir from EUTO Energy to explore how software-defined solutions are transforming the way we manage electricity grids.EUTO Energy is addressing one of today’s most urgent challenges in the energy transition: net congestion. As electrification accelerates and renewable energy sources grow, traditional, hardware-centric systems are no longer sufficient to manage the increasingly dynamic and decentralized flow of power. EUTO’s answer is a virtualized, software-centric energy network that makes grids smarter, more flexible, and far more efficient.During this conversation, we cover:The problem of net congestion: why current distribution networks are hitting their limits and how this impacts businesses and consumers.Traditional vs. software-defined approaches: how EUTO replaces dozens of hardware devices with a single software stack that can adapt in real time.Adaptive protection and control: enabling dynamic safety margins instead of static settings, unlocking hidden capacity in existing infrastructure.Real-world applications: from substations and transmission grids to industrial parks, microgrids, and even island-based off-grid projects.Business model implications: how utilities and operators used to think in 30-year hardware lifecycles, and how subscription-based, service-driven models are changing the landscape.Cybersecurity and reliability: ensuring that cloud and edge-based solutions remain secure, redundant, and trusted by operators.EUTO Energy’s vision draws inspiration from the telecom industry’s transformation, where intelligence shifted from hardware to software decades ago. Today, they are bringing the same paradigm shift to the energy sector — unlocking grid flexibility, reducing costs, and enabling a more reliable and sustainable energy system.🔗 Learn more about EUTO Energy at https://www.eutoenergy.com/Participants:Jos Röling: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josroling/Ali Karademir: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ali-karademir/Vincent van Kalkeren: http://linkedin.com/in/vincent-van-kalkeren-9050b86/Send us Fan MailSupport the showDo you want to join one of the use cases?
