OUR APPROACH
Every Battery Storage system is unique. And that's how we treat & trade it!
Punch 1
24/7 maximum revenues
We monitor and control your battery storage system (BESS) using algorithms. This requires in-depth technological expertise. But unexpected events can occur on the markets at any time. That's why we also have human traders working around the clock to maximize your revenues on all markets.
Punch 2
Don't you worry
Our innovative pricing models get the most out of trading and arbitrage for you. Guaranteed revenue, regardless of our performance as a trader. In addition, we have strong financial partners behind us, so that the counterparty risk is minimized for you and you can secure the financing of your battery storage system.
Punch 3
At your service
We are committed to providing our customers with the best prices and the fastest and most professional customer service. We value openness and transparency and help our customers understand the complexity of the energy market and the value of their storage system.
The Master Plan
While you ensure the technical performance of the storage unit, we optimize its use across all relevant markets - automatically, securely and profitably. We take into account not only the spot markets, but also the balancing energy markets (e.g. ancillary services). With this cross-market strategy, your battery is charged at the most favorable prices across all price curves and discharged at the most lucrative prices.
Our Offer for your Battery Storage System
Guaranteed revenues for you, regardless of our performance as a trader
The basis for our pricing models is the price spread between the highest and lowest price of the day-ahead auction (HL spread). This key figure serves as a reliable indicator of the daily earnings potential of your storage facility. We always guarantee you the maximum of the daily price spread. In addition, our revenue models allow you to choose how you want to use the market potential and hedge your revenues.

HOW WE ROLL
The Only Important Statistic Is The Final Score
"Arbitrage with battery storage in short-term markets is like playing basketball with springs under your shoes. The game gets faster, but also easier and often ends with a crashing dunk." Mirko Thoden, Power Trader at FLEXPOWER

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on Battery Trading & Arbitrage
FlexPower onboards batteries from 500kW.
FlexPower is able to place your battery on all short-term electricity markets. In particular, this includes: day-ahead spot, intraday auction, intraday continuous, ancillary services: primary control reserve (fcr), secondary control reserve (afrr), and tertiary control reserve (mfrr). We see the greatest potential for flexibility from your battery storage in the spot markets, but "cross-market optimization" can make sense in certain cases.
Yes, you can give us restrictions on when, how often and under what conditions the battery can be traded by us.
The revenue of a battery is always positive over a month. FlexPower assumes responsibility for managing the battery within all the restrictions you communicate to us. Depending on the arbitrage concept and your preference, we can choose more conservative or more risk-oriented trading strategies.
In addition to arbitrage strategies on short-term markets, FlexPower has developed an option you can choose to hedge against falling volatility and thus lower revenues in the long term - Flex-HL. We would be happy to present this PowerMatch option to you in a meeting.
