Grid reading

System position — 60 days

Grid was short 45% of the time and long 55% of the time.

Frequent surpluses — high renewables or low demand.

Asset implications

Solar PV: 377 QH below 0 € — uncontrolled injection carries a cost risk.
Industrial loads: shifting flexible loads reduces imbalance cost structurally.
Batteries: P05/P95 spread of 296 €/MWh — arbitrage opportunity.

What this means for your business

☀️

Solar PV — 377 QH below 0 €/MWh over 60 days

Each kWh injected without control during these periods carries a cost. Shifting self-consumable loads (water heaters, EVs, batteries) = direct saving, no additional investment.

🔋

Battery / Storage — 296 €/MWh P05–P95 spread

A battery cycled on this spread generates quantifiable value on your actual site. We model this scenario without commitment.

🏭

Controllable loads — EV fleets, cold storage, compressed air

Shifting industrial loads to off-peak periods reduces imbalance cost structurally and recurrently over time.

⚡

259 QH above +300 €/MWh — paid curtailment

A curtailment programme on these peaks generates direct revenue. Contact us for a simulation on your curtailable capacity.
