CSS is developing a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform for monitoring and controlling energy consumption and production systems. Following the investment, Simtel owns 29% of the start-up and ANT Power 20%, while the founders Ionuț-Ovidiu Dincă, Adrian-Gabriel Vintilă, and Constantin-Corvin Ochian own the remaining 51%.

"Our work is more than just the operationalization of renewable energy sources. Since we started this division, our long-term goal has been to provide our customers with an integrated package of energy-efficiency services. With this investment, we are completing that package with the last piece we need, measuring and monitoring energy consumption and production. As a result, Simtel can now manage a customer's entire energy ecosystem - we build and install PV power plants, to which we add we build and install photovoltaic power plants, to which we add specific related services. Thus, after commissioning, we provide maintenance, forecasting, and trading of energy production, through ANT Power and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of energy consumption, through CSS. With this model, we offer customers a complete solution. This ecosystem transforms the traditional energy management model into an intelligent system that optimizes consumption and production, bringing significant financial benefits to customers and supporting them in long-term energy independence process," stated Iulian Nedea, co-founder and CEO of Simtel Team.

Within the platform developed by CSS, together with Simtel and ANT Power, clients have access to multiple real-time data on their energy activity, such as detailed reports, historical data, alerts, and the ability to remotely control production and consumption systems using artificial intelligence functions.

In addition to its investment in this start-up, Simtel holds a majority stake of 51% in two other companies.

The first is ANT Power, a company that provides forecasting services for photovoltaic power plants through an internally developed software platform, which is one of the best performing in the market, with a prediction rate of the energy produced on the following day very close to the actual one.

The second company is Agora Robotics, the only Romanian autonomous robot R&D and manufacturing company that develops an ecosystem of complementary modular solutions for automating logistics and facility management processes. By the end of this year, Agora Robotics will launch an autonomous industrial cleaning robot.
