Energy trading & the balancing market
Turn your energy assetsinto an automated profit engine.
Stop letting your battery sit idle. Evogrid autonomously trades your energy flexibility across all markets—turning idle storage into a continuous revenue stream. Maximum profit, zero risk to your core operations.
The stakes
Energy value is constantly shifting. You're leaving money on the table.
Electricity has no fixed value; prices swing constantly. They shift hourly on the EPEX day-ahead market and every 15 minutes on the imbalance market. Without intelligent control, your battery charges at the wrong time and sits empty when market prices peak.
Manually trading these price spikes is impossible—the market moves far faster than humanly possible. Evogrid acts as your automated trading floor, operating your assets as one intelligent microgrid and trading 24/7 in the background. Zero intervention required.

EPEX Day-Ahead, Intraday & Imbalance
The platform operates simultaneously across all three markets, identifying exactly where your flexibility yields the highest return second by second.
- Day-ahead: strategically plan charging and discharging cycles a day in advance based on known hourly prices. Buy low, sell high.
- Intraday: if market conditions shift suddenly, active bids are revised instantly to capture emerging value.
- Imbalance: respond automatically to grid shortages and surpluses every 15 minutes—where the highest financial returns are typically found.

Smart with negative prices
On highly productive sunny or windy days, energy prices regularly collapse—sometimes dropping below zero.
When market prices turn negative, Evogrid automatically curtails your solar inverters or charges your battery at a negative rate (literally getting paid to consume power). You will never pay to give your own generated power away again.
- Automated solar curtailment during negative market pricing.
- Store energy when power is free (or profitable to consume).
- Eliminate financial losses on your own renewable generation.

Your operation always comes first
Market trading never comes at the expense of your core business. The system operates on a strict, fail-safe hierarchy: your facility's consumption and grid limits always take absolute precedence. Peak shaving, emergency backup, and self-sufficiency are fiercely protected. Only the remaining free capacity is deployed to the market.
Who it's for
Businesses with batteries & flexible assets
Operators with energy storage, EV charging plazas, or controllable industrial loads who want to put their unused capacity to profitable use.
Owners of large-scale generation (solar & wind)
Producers looking to strategically bring their output to market, rather than feeding it back to the grid at fixed, often loss-making rates.
