Maximizing Business Potential with Ancillary Services

At Entelios, we’re committed to helping our electricity trading customers monetize their flexibility and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.

By reducing or increasing their electricity production or consumption, our customers can provide critical ancillary services that support grid owners and transmission system operators in maintaining power system stability, reliability, and capacity. In doing so, they can help reduce the use of fossil fuels and mitigate the risk of power outages, while earning compensation for their contributions.

As a leading provider of ancillary services, Entelios offers comprehensive support for activating and managing a wide range of resources, including energy storage systems, electric vehicles, real estate, and industrial processes.

Why are ancillary services needed?

As the proportion of renewable energy production increases and electricity consumption grows, ancillary services become increasingly essential to maintain a stable and reliable electricity supply while also contributing to achieving climate goals. By providing ancillary services, the electricity system can be optimized to minimize the risk of power outages and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, ancillary services are crucial in ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply while also contributing to meeting climate goals. With ancillary services, you can optimize the electricity system, reduce the risk of interruptions in the electricity supply, and help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Ancillary services for balancing and aiding the market

Ancillary services play a crucial role in balancing electricity production and consumption, and maintaining a safe and stable electricity grid. These services include various functions, such as frequency regulation, which involves adjusting the production and consumption of electricity in real-time to maintain a constant frequency on the grid. The responsibility of providing and coordinating these services lies with the transmission system operators (TSOs).

Ancillary services are entirely market-based and procured through bidding.

Local flexibility markets

Local flexibility markets are marketplaces where energy producers and consumers can offer flexibility in their production or consumption. These markets are designed to enable a more efficient use of energy, reduce the load on the electricity grid and support the integration of renewable energy.

In a local flexibility market, electricity consumers and producers can offer to lower their consumption or increase their production during certain times of the day or during specific events, such as a high demand for electricity during the winter months. This can then be purchased by the grid owner to free up capacity in the local grid.

Local flexibility markets play an important role in optimizing the energy use and reducing the load on the electricity grid, which in turn can avoid costly investments in grid infrastructure. These markets can also support the integration of renewable energy by making it possible to balance the production of energy from renewable sources with the demand for energy in a more flexible way.Entelios assits their customers in offering flexibility from their electricity consumption or production and enabling market participation. Through participation in these markets, Entelios help customers to reduce their energy costs, increase their energy efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.

Flexibility resources

There are several resources that can deliver to ancillary services and local flexibility markets. Here are some examples:

1. Industrial production processes: Many industries can accommodate their energy consumption by adjusting production processes.
2. Heating and cooling systems: Buildings and facilities can accommodate their energy consumption by adjusting their internal heating or cooling.
3. Renewable energy production: Solar and wind power plants can accommodate their energy production by adjusting their production for short periods.
4. Energy storage: Batteries and other forms of energy storage can accommodate by storing energy and release it at a desired time.
5. Electric transportation: Electric cars and other electric vehicles can accommodate their energy use by charging during periods of low energy demand and then discharging their energy during periods of high demand.

By aiding with these and other resources, local ancillary service market can help balance the energy system and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.

Solar power for companies

An increasing number of companies see the value of adopting solar cell technology both to reduce costs and their climate footprint. Partly due to increasing awareness of climate change and a desire to reduce the carbon footprint, as well as the economic benefits that come with it.

Entelios specializes in helping companies utilize solar energy in a cost-effective manner. By letting us take the investment, you can reduce your company’s energy costs and price fluctuations. As a customer, you can choose to buy all or part of the produced solar energy at a fixed or floating price, depending on your desires and need. This results in significant financial savings and reduces the company’s climate footprint.

Solar energy and photovoltaic plant – local renewable energy for the future

Entelios offers tailor-made solutions to help companies with solar energy. By taking these measures, companies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their energy cost at the same time.

A profitable investment for your company – solar energy for companies

Solar energy is not only a sustainable source of energy, it is also a good investment for your business. By building solar power plants on the company’s roof, the company can reduce its costs, achieve a higher energy class and increase the value of the building. Entelios offers advice and financing solutions that make it easier for companies to get started with solar energy.

5 good reasons to invest in solar cells

Companies should consider building solar power systems for several reasons. Here are some:

1. Reduce energy costs: Solar power systems can help reduce the company’s energy costs in the long term. The company can produce its own electricity locally with the help of solar energy and reduce its need to buy electricity from the grid, which thus also provides savings in tariffs, taxes, and other fees.
2. Sustainability: Solar energy is a clean and sustainable source of energy that helps reduce the company’s greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting solar power systems, the company can reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
3. Competitiveness: Companies that have a solar power system (photovoltaic plant) can increase their competitiveness by showing their commitment to climate sustainability. This is expected to be a more important factor for customers considering doing business with you or buy your products. For property owners, this also means expected higher rental income as the market shows strong signals of a higher willingness to pay for green buildings.
4. Utilize roof space: Solar power systems can be installed on the roof of buildings. One can therefore use a currently unused area to produce renewable energy and in many cases achieve an increased energy class.
5. Long lifespan and low maintenance requirements: Today’s solar cell technology is robust, with a long lifespan and low maintenance. This makes solar systems a long-term and cost-effective investment for companies

How does it work in practice?

In practice, we analyze the individual company’s energy consumption, building, roof structure, and possibilities for solar power system installation. Entelios will then find the best solution for the customer based on the results from the analysis and dialogue with the customer.

Entelios offers financing solutions that make it easier for companies to get started with solar energy. We also act as advisors to help the customer maximize their climate contribution and financial gain. After the solar power system has been installed, we do regular checkups.
