Leveraging Flexibility, Creating Stability: Optimizing the Marketing of Renewable Energy

Renewable energy sources introduce volatility into the electricity market—but with the right marketing strategy, facilities such as biogas, hydropower, and biomass can specifically contribute to grid stability while also generating attractive market revenues.

Optimizing Renewable Energy: Flexibility as the Key to Success

Renewable energy sources are often cited as the cause of increasing price volatility in the electricity markets. Intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar power undoubtedly contribute to these fluctuations.

However, other renewable power plants such as Biomass, biogas, hydropower, biomethane CHPs and Co-location battery storage have the potential to offset these very fluctuations while also benefiting from electricity market prices.

At ESFORIN, our expertise lies in leveraging this flexibility in a targeted manner. Drawing on our many years of experience in optimizing highly flexible and complex industrial processes, we market these power plants across various markets in a profitable manner.

We offer our customers in the biogas, hydropower, and biomass sectors customized marketing services that cover all relevant markets—from day-ahead trading to continuous intraday trading. In doing so, we also specifically incorporate the opportunities presented by the balancing power markets into our optimization strategies to maximize the full potential of your facility.

We deliberately avoid using external service providers and work with you on a one-on-one basis to develop a marketing strategy tailored to your facility. In doing so, we naturally take into account the key factors specific to each energy source.

Biogas Plants – Efficient Marketing and Maximum Transparency ​

For biogas plants, we automatically take into account various storage signals—such as heat and gas storage—as well as CHP-optimized operating modes. Seasonal or daily fluctuations pose no challenge. Especially for plants receiving follow-on funding, you can be sure that all engines meet the required minimum performance levels and the significant additional revenue contributing to the tender result generate. Here at ESFORIN, we place great emphasis on 100% transparency. You’ll receive a complete overview of every trade—including the „virtual“ proceeds we generate, which we, of course, pay out to you.

Hydropower – Potential for Optimization in Run-of-River and Storage Power Plants

In hydropower, run-of-river and pumped-storage power plants offer significant potential for optimization. Even small shifts in production can, in the Control energy market or intraday trading generate substantial profits. When developing your marketing strategy, we take into account both the technical conditions of your hydroelectric power plant and seasonal variations in production.

Biomass – Harnessing Hidden Potential for Flexibility

Biomass power plants are often viewed as baseload power plants, since the energy production process initially appears to offer little flexibility. However, targeted, small shifts in production, combined with optimized marketing, can open up significant profit potential.

Co-location battery storage

As we do for our highly complex industrial clients, we work with you to develop a customized strategy for making the most of your current flexibility. Should this flexibility change due to shifting conditions—such as technical adjustments or changes in legislation—we are always here to advise you.

Flexible or, in the case of Co-location systems flexibilized renewable energy systems make a decisive contribution to a stable and balanced electricity market.
