WHOLESALE
Day-ahead
Hourly auction, one day in advance. The frame for the day: charge in the trough, discharge into the peak.
Where a battery earns, market by market
The homepage speaks in euros. This page speaks the market's language, for the reader who wants to know exactly which pools a battery can tap and why the balance between them is shifting.
THE VALUE POOLS
Six markets, three kinds of value
WHOLESALE
Intraday
Continuous trading through the day itself. Where the frame gets refined as reality diverges from the forecast, hour by hour.
IMBALANCE
Imbalance
The settlement price for deviating from nomination. A risk to manage and, steered well, a source of value.
BALANCING
FCR
Frequency containment reserve. Fast, automatic frequency support, remunerated for availability.
BALANCING
aFFR
Automatic frequency restoration reserve. Activated by the TSO, remunerated for capacity and activation.
CAPACITY
CRM
The capacity remuneration mechanism: payment for being available when the system is tight.
THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
From ancillary services to wholesale
Batteries historically earned most on FCR and aFRR. That balance is shifting. Saturation pushes ancillary remuneration down as more batteries enter those markets, while a growing share of renewables makes wholesale prices more volatile, and volatility is exactly what a battery monetises. A strategy built for the coming years valorises across both, with wholesale as the growing leg.
