Challenge
As power grids evolve, Significant Grid Users and independent power producers have a unique opportunity to monetize their energy flexibility. However, entering advanced market segments like the Capacity Market or Balancing Market requires deep regulatory knowledge and precise asset profiling.
Solution
We provided comprehensive consulting and advisory services tailored for participation in national system services. Our team conducted in-depth analyses of both consumption and generation profiles, and designed operational optimization strategies aligning client asset capabilities with grid requirements.
Outcome
Through strategic guidance, clients transitioned from passive energy participants to active market players. Tailored strategies maximized revenue and minimized risks within the Capacity Market and Balancing Market, with end-to-end regulatory support through the certification and qualification processes required by Transmission System Operators (TSOs) — unlocking new value streams by ensuring assets have the flexibility to respond to grid balancing needs.
What was happening
Operating assets had real flexibility — flexible loads, generation that could ramp, storage capacity — but the value of that flexibility sat unmonetized because the regulatory and prequalification path was opaque.
Internal teams understood the assets but not the cross-product market structure (Capacity Market, Balancing Market, ancillary services) or what the TSO needed in order to certify them.
What changed
We profiled consumption and generation in depth, mapped each asset capability against the relevant market product, and designed an operational strategy that turned the flexibility into commercial product.
We then walked the certification and qualification path with the TSO end-to-end — so by the time the asset was market-ready, the regulatory side was already cleared.
