ClearVUE debuts IRIS, a data-led sustainability assistant built for real-world decisions
Also on stand: ClearVUE Flexer, an AI trading co-pilot inside ClearVUE.Zero that reads live prices and your position to build a risk-aware hedge plan.
Visitors to this year’s EMEX will encounter something quite revolutionary.
ClearVUE, a regular fixture at the event and a familiar name in the energy technology space, is using the 2025 exhibition floor to introduce IRIS, a new artificial intelligence assistant embedded in its ClearVUE.Zero platform.
Rather than focusing on prediction or automation in the abstract, IRIS addresses the practical realities of energy and emissions management: fragmented data, resource constraints, and the persistent challenge of turning insights into action. Through a structured, conversational interface, users are able to interrogate their energy profile in real time, site by site, asset by asset, without relying on technical specialists or time-intensive analysis.
What distinguishes IRIS is its capacity to respond to context. Ask it which of your facilities used the most energy last quarter, and it provides a ranked list within moments. Supply equipment data, and it maps consumption patterns against operational productivity. Even where datasets are incomplete, IRIS suggests ways to validate assumptions or improve input quality, making it a guide as much as a tool.
The assistant also learns. Drawing from a growing base of user interactions and system behaviours, it recognises recurring inefficiencies, flags missed opportunities and refines its recommendations over time. In environments where decisions carry operational and financial consequences, this kind of continuously improving intelligence offers a marked advantage.
Alongside IRIS sits ClearVUE Flexer, which applies the same discipline to energy procurement. Working inside ClearVUE.Zero, it reads interval data, position reports, contract dates, flex trades and the supplier product set, and pairs them with live wholesale prices through an API. On screen it shows coverage by period with a delivered-rate band, highlights where cover is thinning, flags budget risk and, once working hours are set, separates in-hours and out-of-hours load to expose baseload.
While the underlying engine is a large language model, IRIS is augmented by granular data from ClearVUE.Zero – a proprietary energy management and carbon accounting system. User experience is streamlined and directed by carefully designed guardrails. This directs users to receive insightful observations and improvement opportunities on topics like: energy consumption, carbon reporting, cost attribution, and compliance frameworks.
For renewals, Flexer recommends an appropriate flexible product and sets out a laddered hedge plan with clear targets and cadence. It can stage cover in quarterly blocks, set pre-winter targets, keep shoulder months lighter, and include top-ups at price dips or sellbacks where product rules allow. A delivered-cost target band and alerts keep attention on risk as conditions move.
Visitors to the ClearVUE stand will see it applied live across scenarios ranging from zero-cost emissions reduction actions to energy cost forecasting and regulatory response planning.
Flexer will also be shown building a renewal board-pack outline from today’s forward curve and a live volume profile, drafting RFQs and supplier emails for price locks, and creating concise records once a price is secured. Because it shares the same data foundation, it can present an efficiency plan alongside the trading plan and fold the effect into the total cost view.
Rather than layering more dashboards onto already complex systems, IRIS alters the role of data itself. Continuous monitoring becomes guided interpretation, so organisations can locate waste, verify improvement, and record progress in one place. Crucially, data alone doesn’t solve problems; an intelligent interface that interprets, prioritises and proposes next steps does. IRIS closes the gap between awareness and action, the point where most efficiency efforts stall.
Together, IRIS and Flexer provide a connected path from usage insight to trading decision. One clarifies where energy can be saved and proves the outcome; the other frames exposure and prepares the actions and paperwork that bring a risk-aware position to life.
Attendees seeking a closer look will find ClearVUE on stand B20, where live demonstrations are scheduled throughout the event. The team will be fielding questions, exploring real-world use cases, and collecting feedback as IRIS moves to full platform feature.
Demos for IRIS and Flexer will run in sequence so visitors can see how operational insight and trading decisions connect in practice.
