FLEXIBILITY
We earn on energy you already have — or are planning
We combine trading on energy markets with balancing services. The result? Higher returns and faster payback. And because we share the profit, our success is directly tied to yours.
Trading + balancing = more than the sum of parts
Most providers offer one or the other. We do both at once — and that is how we extract the maximum from your asset.
Balancing services
Ancillary services that help maintain grid balance.
- FCR within 30 s Automatic frequency regulation
- aFRR+/aFRR− within 7.5 min Automatic activation
- mFRR5 within 5 min Manual regulation under shortage
- mFRR+/mFRR− within 12.5 min Manual activation
Synapse
Trading on energy markets
Active trading on day-ahead and intraday markets.
- DA daily Day-ahead trading
- IDA intraday Intraday trading
- Imbalance real time Profit from system imbalances
Synapse switches between balancing and trading in real time depending on which one is more profitable at the moment. Result: up to 30% higher revenue compared to pure balancing.

Flexibility on the production side
We manage flexibility from megawatts down to hundreds of kilowatts
We focus on high-voltage devices with a minimum capacity of 1 MW. Smaller devices? Multiple entities can be combined.
Battery storage (BESS)
Maximum returns through trading + balancing combination. Activation in mFRR and aFRR modes. Payback 2–4 years.

Learn moreFlexibility on the consumption side (DSR)
Do you operate a business with high energy consumption that can be regulated over time? Data centres, industrial production, cold storage, heat pump stations and more — even consumption can be a source of income through flexibility. We will help you identify the potential and engage in balancing services.
How it looks in reality
Market price peak
The algorithm catches the opportunity, your asset activates and sells energy at the highest price. Accurate predictions = higher chance of winning the auction at the best price.
Grid imbalance
ČEPS activates assets starting with the cheapest bidder. Thanks to accurate predictions you make it into reservations and your asset earns when the grid needs it.
Penalty protection
If you fail to deliver promised capacity, you risk a 5% penalty and removal by ČEPS. Our predictions and dispatching minimise this risk.
We trade on European markets
