What is
flexibility
Why flexibility is essential in today’s energy system
The energy transition is accelerating, and the generation of renewable energy is growing rapidly. However, the grid infrastructure cannot always keep pace with this development. In certain regions and at specific times, this leads to pressure on the electricity grid, which can result in limitations on feed-in capacity or delays in new connections.
At the same time, the increasing share of renewable energy is driving greater price volatility in energy markets. Weather-dependent generation and ongoing electrification mean that supply and demand are becoming less predictable and fluctuate more than in the past.
For producers and prosumers, this creates a new reality. Simply having generation capacity is no longer sufficient. The real value increasingly lies in how flexible and controllable energy can be deployed.
Virtual Power Plant
Scholt Energy connects these assets to the relevant energy markets through its Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This allows producers to:
- Monetise flexibility instead of losing revenue
- Access markets that are otherwise unavailable to individual assets
- Reduce exposure to congestion-related restrictions
The result is a new layer of revenue on top of existing production income.
A structured approach to spreading volumes over time and markets to reduce risk and increase predictability.
