Gartner Recognizes FLOWBOX as a Leader in Energy Management and Microgrid Solutions
Who Is Gartner and Why Does It Matter?
Gartner is the world’s largest independent research and advisory company, focused on evaluating technologies, vendors, and market trends across industries. Organizations and public institutions around the globe rely on Gartner’s insights when making strategic decisions and choosing technology partners.
Gartner is respected for its objectivity, in-depth analysis, and structured methodologies—such as the Magic Quadrant, Hype Cycle, and Market Guide—that help decision-makers understand complex technology landscapes.
There’s a well-known saying in the tech world:
“No one ever got fired for following a Gartner recommendation.”
Being featured in a Gartner report is more than just a recognition of technological maturity—it’s a sign of trust, credibility, and global relevance. For companies like FLOWBOX, it means being acknowledged as an innovator and a key player in a rapidly evolving market.
Gartner Validates EMOS as the New Standard in Intelligent Energy Management
EMOS (Energy Management and Optimization Systems) is a category of solutions that enable organizations to monitor, control, and optimize their energy consumption in real time.
Gartner has been paying increasing attention to this field, recognizing its key role in the digital transformation of energy management, emissions reduction, and achieving ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
Over the past few years, EMOS has begun to appear more consistently in Gartner’s research reports—highlighting the growing importance of these technologies across industries, commercial buildings, and infrastructure.
In 2024, EMOS was featured as a distinct and highly relevant market segment in the Gartner Market Guide for Energy Management and Optimization Systems, which maps the evolving vendor landscape and defines key trends in the sector.
A year later, in 2025, EMOS reached the so-called Peak of Inflated Expectations in two major Gartner Hype Cycle reports:
- Gartner Hype Cycle for Power and Utility IT 2025
- Gartner Hype Cycle for Low-Carbon Energy Technologies 2025
This stage represents the point where a technology attracts significant attention from the market, investors, and media. Expectations are high, and the technology is being actively tested in pilot projects—but it is still adopted primarily by advanced innovators. Only the most capable vendors are able to meet expectations and deliver proven, functional solutions at this stage.
EMOS is now seen as a transformative technology with the potential to significantly reshape how organizations manage energy consumption, decarbonization efforts, and operational optimization.

We were recognized as a Representative Vendor in record time, both for our EMOS capabilities and for our advanced microgrid solutions.
Gartner Market Guide for EMOS
Gartner Market Guide for EMOS 2025
The Market Guide is a Gartner report format designed to help organizations navigate emerging technologies and identify representative vendors in rapidly evolving markets.
The Gartner Market Guide for Energy Management and Optimization Systems (EMOS) 2025 highlights EMOS platforms as essential tools for reducing emissions, cutting energy costs, and achieving ESG goals. EMOS is described as an active technology that combines monitoring, analytics, and automated energy control—with a strong focus on scalability and measurable operational impact.
FLOWBOX is listed as a Representative Vendor, recognized for delivering solutions that reflect the key trends in energy management and optimization across both industrial and commercial environments.
FLOWBOX in Gartner Hype Cycles
Gartner Hype Cycle for Power and Utility IT 2025
This Hype Cycle focuses on key IT technologies shaping the future of energy and utility companies. It is primarily intended for technology leaders, CIOs, and strategic planners in the energy sector who are looking to understand which solutions have the potential to transform the industry.
EMOS appears at the Peak of Inflated Expectations, a phase where market attention is high and expectations are rising. FLOWBOX is featured as one of the vendors capable of delivering this complex technology in real-world applications.
Gartner Hype Cycle for Low‑Carbon Energy Technologies 2025
This Hype Cycle highlights technologies with the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint in both the energy sector and industry. It is primarily intended for sustainability experts, ESG managers, and innovators seeking technology-driven pathways to achieve climate goals.
FLOWBOX is once again mentioned as a representative of innovative EMOS solutions that contribute directly to decarbonization efforts.
Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies 2025
This Hype Cycle tracks technologies that influence the design, operation, and energy efficiency of data centers. It is intended for IT managers, operations leaders, and infrastructure architects who are seeking solutions to ensure energy independence, reliability, and sustainability across data centers and mission-critical facilities.
For the first time, microgrids appear in this report as a standalone technology, and FLOWBOX is listed as a Representative Vendor in the category of Microgrid Control Platforms.
