Building digital platforms for modern energy systems & utilities management
Helmes designs and builds custom software for utilities, energy providers, infrastructure operators, and greentech companies. From nationwide energy data hubs and smart metering systems to AI-driven analytics platforms, we help organisations run reliable, scalable energy systems – building the digital foundations of the energy transition.
Efficiency built into software
At Helmes, we develop software solutions that minimize resource consumption and improve system efficiency. By optimizing architecture, infrastructure usage, and data processing, we help organisations reduce the environmental impact of their digital systems while ensuring strong performance and long-term efficiency.
Renewable energy growth
Europe’s energy sector is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. Renewable energy already accounts for over 25% of EU energy consumption, and the EU has committed to reach 42.5% by 2030.
