Balancing Partners

Advice first, then the solution.

First we analyse your consumption and your grid connection. Then we give independent advice, and only after that do we propose a solution: from contract optimisation to battery storage that earns money.

01

Analysis

Your consumption profile per quarter-hour, peaks against your contracted capacity and what your connection really costs.

02

Independent advice

Recommendations with euros per year and payback time, in plain language. You decide.

03

Battery storage

Peak shaving, trading on the day-ahead and imbalance markets, and more self-consumption of your solar power.

04

Monitoring

A client portal with live energy flows, revenue per source and progress against your business case.

Shave peaks and earn on the market.

A battery keeps your import below the limit of your connection and trades on the day-ahead and imbalance markets in between. Our EMS partner controls it; we monitor the business case.

How the battery earns

  • Peak shaving within your connection

  • Trading on day-ahead, intraday, imbalance and reserves (aFRR, FCR)

  • More self-consumption of your solar power

Insight into market, grid and storage

Explanations and worked examples from our advisors.

Negative electricity prices: cost or opportunity?

On sunny afternoons, the day-ahead price drops below zero more and more often. With solar panels you then pay to export; with storage you earn from it.
