FaaS: You bring your flex asset, we monetize it, you profit
We provide Flexibility as a Service (FaaS), offering an all-inclusive solution for your flexibility needs. As a one-stop shop, we support you every step of the way, from your initial consultation to achieving seamless technical market connections. Our scalable virtual power plant pools flexible energy resources, connecting flexibility providers to various layers of the energy market, such as traders, prosumers, DSOs, and TSOs. Our services encompass the connection, integration, management, and trading of flexibility assets. We create new revenue streams for our customers by strategically bidding across multiple markets to increase profitability. In addition to balancing services – FCR, aFRR, and mFRR, including Free Energy Bids and redispatch services -, the assets can be monetized on the wholesale markets, including day-ahead and intraday markets.
