What are Flex Services?
Flex Services is Scholt Energy's commercial proposition for activating and managing relevant forms of flexibility.
Depending on your asset and eligibility, this can involve adjusting renewable generation, flexible electricity demand or storage in response to applicable market and grid conditions.
Scholt combines asset information, agreed operating limits, market access and optimisation to determine when flexibility should be available or activated.
Solar and wind installations can temporarily reduce production when continued feed-in is commercially unfavourable or when applicable grid conditions require flexibility.
You define the operating boundaries of the installation. Scholt manages the relevant activation, market interaction and settlement within the agreed setup.
Curtailment can be relevant during negative price periods and in applicable congestion situations.

A battery can respond in both directions by charging, discharging or keeping capacity available.
Its commercial value depends on deciding which action best fits current market conditions while respecting State of Charge and agreed technical parameters.
Explore Energy Storage
Industrial processes with controllable electricity demand or operational buffers may be able to temporarily reduce or shift consumption.
Together, we identify where flexibility is available without compromising agreed operational requirements. When a relevant market activation occurs, consumption can be adjusted within predefined boundaries.
Examples include cooling installations, compressors, pumps and other supported controllable processes.

Flex Services describes what Scholt Energy commercially manages for you. The Virtual Power Plant provides an important part of the technology that enables that management.
Our VPP connects flexible assets and combines asset information with market conditions. Scholt uses this infrastructure to coordinate relevant renewable generation, storage and flexible consumption.
This makes the VPP an enabling layer behind applicable Flex Services rather than a separate name for the services themselves.
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.
