Power Trading for an All-Electric World

FlexPower covers the entire power trading value chain: operators of wind, solar, hydro and biomass assets (renewables trading), operators of battery storage systems and of other flexible assets (flexibility trading), industrial and commercial customers with their own power demand (power procurement), and energy suppliers, municipal utilities and energy traders as institutional trading counterparties (Wholesale). Which division is the right fit depends on whether a company generates power ("Upgrid"), stores it ("Flexgrid"), consumes it ("Downgrid"), or trades it.

FlexPower is a partner across the entire power trading value chain, stepping into whichever role is needed: route-to-market provider, supplier, optimizer, or trading counterparty. The underlying principle stays the same throughout: FlexPower brings power from generation, storage and consumption professionally to market, takes on the associated trading risk where needed, and handles the full energy-industry back-office process around it.

Yes. A solar asset, a battery storage system and a company's own power supply can all be handled together through FlexPower, rather than needing a separate provider for each.

Yes, minimum sizes differ by service: from 1,000 kW of installed capacity for renewables and battery route-to-market services, from 5,000 MWh of annual consumption for power procurement, and on an individually agreed basis for wholesale trading.

FlexPower is a modern power trader that squeezes the most out of every megawatt-hour of renewable generation and finds the best possible procurement for every consumption profile — fast, transparent, and with a genuine appetite for risk. Fees and prices are transparent rather than hidden, that's what FlexPower's own PPA platform, PowerMatch is built for. Another key difference: FlexPower actively takes on price and volatility risk where needed, rather than simply passing it through to the customer, as many other providers do — backed by robust risk management and real balance-sheet strength.

As part of the Citadel group, FlexPower can offer more than pure trade execution. Behind FlexPower stands the balance-sheet strength of Citadel, one of the world's leading investment firms. For customers, that translates into more reliable execution, a stronger negotiating position in the market, and access to risk management and scalable trading infrastructure built for complex power markets. This isn't limited to institutional wholesale customers — it benefits every customer group.

The process is broadly the same across all product lines: submit the relevant parameters or a project description, receive an offer, sign the contract, go through onboarding (e.g. balancing group setup, connecting the assets), and then go live with ongoing trading or supply.

Billing runs monthly — for route-to-market services and power procurement alike. Wholesale trading is settled according to the relevant trading agreement (e.g. EFET or ISDA).

Yes. The asset operator retains overall control and sets the boundaries within which FlexPower markets the asset — for example, charge and discharge limits for battery storage systems. Any interventions in operating behavior are contractually defined and limited to route-to-market activities and legally mandated cases, such as grid-related curtailment ordered by the grid operator.

All relevant power markets: day-ahead, intraday and continuous intraday on the exchange, the ancillary services markets, and bilateral wholesale trading (OTC). FlexPower is active in six countries across Europe.

Upgrid, Flexgrid and Downgrid describe how power moves through the grid, in, out, or shifted in time. Each is also one of our service areas.
Upgrid — power into the grid. Renewable generators feed power into the grid, where it's distributed across the network. At FlexPower, that's Renewables Trading.
Downgrid — power out of the grid. Power is drawn off the grid to be used, flowing from the transmission network down through the distribution grids to end users in industry and commerce. At FlexPower, that's Power Procurement.
Flexgrid — power shifted in time. Assets that don't feed power in or draw it out directly, but store it or hold it for when it's needed: battery storage, controllable loads and flexible generators that ramp up and down with the grid. This smooths out the swings of wind and solar and helps balance supply and demand — with almost no energy lost along the way. At FlexPower, that's Flexibility Trading.
