Energy management only matters if it leads to action. This release pushes Spacewell Energy further into that territory, with upgrades to forecasting, device visibility, analytics, and a brand-new reporting engine. 

Energy forecasting that finally spans both ends of the planning horizon 

Until now, forecasting in Spacewell Energy was built for the short term, accurate hourly projections covering the next 10 days. That’s great for day-to-day operations, but it left a gap for anyone trying to plan budgets or sustainability targets months out. 

With this release, forecasting extends to a full year ahead. You still get the detailed, weather-aware hourly forecasts for short-term operational monitoring, but now daily forecasts stretch into long-term territory too, covering budgeting, resource planning, and strategic energy management. It’s the same engine, just working across both timeframes in one workflow, so operational teams and sustainability managers aren’t relying on two different tools.

Capturing exported energy automatically (Spain) 

For customers using Datadis, the Spanish public data hub for electricity meters, Spacewell Energy now automatically detects and pulls in exported energy data where it’s available for a given CUPS, alongside the consumption data it already captured. If you’re generating or injecting energy back into the grid, this gives you the full electricity balance without manual setup, which matters a lot for solar PV and self-consumption analysis.

Finding devices across large portfolios 

Locating a specific device used to mean digging through admin-only screens. The Devices list is now part of the Analysis section itself, with location filtering and direct links to configuration pages for admins. Managers and other roles can now see exactly which devices sit in which locations and which data sources or gateways they’re tied to, without needing elevated access. It also replaces the legacy “by device” view entirely. 

Mixed visualizations in Energy Analytics 

Analytics now lets you assign a different visualization type to each data block within the same chart, so you can plot, say, energy consumption as bars and outside temperature as a line, in one view. It sounds small, but it meaningfully improves readability when comparing variables that behave differently or use different units, and it reduces dependence on the older Advanced Analytics tooling for these use cases.

A new Reports module, built on the same foundation as Dashboards and Analytics 

This is the bigger story of the release. The new Reports module closes the loop between Dashboards, Analytics, and Reporting, all three now share the same design workflow and underlying data model. 

You build a reusable template once, with a drag-and-drop editor, combining analytics, text blocks, images, and widgets, covering categories like readings, M&V or microgrid. From that single template, you can generate one-off reports or schedule recurring ones, and every report pulls the latest available data at generation time. Output is a polished, presentation-ready PDF you can hand to a client or stakeholder without manual formatting. 

Coming soon: generative AI will write the narrative commentary for these reports automatically, turning charts into plain-language insight without anyone having to interpret them by hand.

Aligning premium features with current license plans 

Lastly, a behind-the-scenes change: access to key analysis screens is now technically tied to current Entry, Advanced, and Ultimate plans rather than legacy license tiers. If you’re on an older plan, this is the moment to talk to your account team about what’s now available to you. 

What this means for you 

Whether you’re forecasting a year out, tracking your full electricity balance, or building reports your clients actually want to read, this release moves Spacewell Energy from “here’s your data” toward “here’s what to do next.” And there’s more on the way.
