An Institutional Platform For Flexibility
Gnist Energi operates with institutional discipline: transparent governance, risk frameworks aligned to market realities, and portfolios designed for durable cash generation.
Why now?
The transition’s edge now lies in optimisation.
Flexibility is required
The market experiences imbalances and
cannibalization and the TSO’s need to balance the grid.
The captures rates have fallen to 70-80% and keeps falling.
Imbalance risk
BRP used to bear the
imbalance costs and due to increased imbalances in the system the asset
owners now have to bear the risk.
Battery maturity
he last few years battery costs have fallen, creating a unique opportunity to utilize BESS solutions.
Multi Market Optimization
Flexible assets now earn more by taking advantage of the increased volatility. Winners stack revenue across day-ahead, intraday, and balancing markets.
Digital operations
The volatility in the markets are too complex for manual trading. Automated optimization and AI algorithms are required to capture spreads and to capture the full potential of the market value.
