Myenergi’s zappi GLO EV charger achieves UK Code of Practice 11 approval for behind-the-meter energy measurement

Myenergi’s zappi GLO electric vehicle charger has secured the UK’s Code of Practice 11 (CoP11) approval, marking a significant milestone in behind-the-meter energy measurement. This certification confirms that the compact, plug-and-play charger complies with the stringent standards required for flexible energy use in the UK, enabling it to accurately measure and manage energy consumption directly at the user’s premises. The approval is particularly important as it allows zappi GLO to participate in the country’s growing flexibility markets, where energy demand can be adjusted to support grid stability. Central to this development is myenergi’s Gridpay service, an automated demand-side response platform that rewards homeowners for shifting their energy usage during peak periods. Through the myenergi app, users can set their charging preferences and tariffs, allowing Gridpay to optimise charging sessions by automatically adjusting load and timing. This not only benefits the grid by reducing strain during high-demand periods but also offers financial incentives to EV owners who contribute to balancing the national electricity system. David Nicholl, Managing Director of myenergi GB, emphasised the broader implications of the CoP11 approval, highlighting how zappi GLO’s enhanced capabilities represent a step towards smarter, more connected homes. He noted that the charger’s ability to control power intake in response to grid signals supports the transition to a more flexible and resilient energy infrastructure. This aligns with wider efforts across the UK to integrate renewable energy sources and improve energy efficiency through intelligent home energy management systems. Looking ahead, the integration of zappi GLO within myenergi’s wider home energy ecosystem underscores the potential for smart chargers to play a pivotal role in the future of energy consumption. By facilitating user participation in flexibility markets, the technology not only helps stabilise the grid but also encourages the adoption of sustainable energy practices. As demand-side response initiatives gain traction, devices like zappi GLO are poised to become key enablers in the evolution of the UK’s energy landscape.
