Hvad De Arbejder Med
Next Kraftwerke Benelux er specialiseret i elhandel, aggregering og optimering af fleksibilitet via et virtuelt kraftværk, der samler distribuerede energiresurser i Belgien, Holland og Luxembourg (source: next-kraftwerke.be). Virksomheden forbinder decentrale producenter, forbrugere og lagringsfaciliteter og handler deres samlede fleksibilitet på forskellige el- og balancemarkeder, herunder day-ahead, intraday, futures og reservekapacitet (source: next-kraftwerke.be). Deres tjenester omfatter blandt andet balancerings- og reguleringskapacitet for fleksible aktiver som efterspørgselsrespons, produktion og batterier, samt PPA-strukturering, tværmarkedsoptimering og BRP-tjenester som forecasting, markedsadgang og balancegruppeadministration (source: linkedin.com). Kernen i deres tilbud er NEXTRA-platformen, som giver kunder adgang til europæiske elmarkeder uden store infrastrukturinvesteringer (source: next-kraftwerke.be).

Siden udvidelsen til Holland i 2016 er hundredevis af disse teknologier tilsluttet deres platform (source: next-kraftwerke.be). Porteføljen inkluderer også flere små og mellemstore vandkraftværker, og virksomheden har i årevis været aktiv som leverandør af reguleringskapacitet i den belgiske Elia-balanceringszone (source: next-kraftwerke.be).
