aFRR market: What really counts

Everyone is talking about battery storage. Many providers – especially start-ups – promise astronomical revenues in theFRR market. But a look at the official data from the German Federal Cartel Office shows that none of these start-ups are in the top 5FRR marketers. Instead, one name stands out: Energy2market – the only major provider for small and medium-sized plants alongside corporate giants such as RWE and EnBW. Why? Because we simply do prequalification better.

Market leadership for smaller systems

According to feedback from transmission system operators, Energy2market submits by far the most prequalification applications for balancing energy in Germany. This means that “David” e2m is successfully holding its own alongside the “Goliaths” of the industry.

Lean, standardized processes

We rely on consistent standards – from the technical connection and data exchange to test procedures and documentation. For operators, this means less effort and more security:

• Shorter processing times without unnecessary waiting phases
• Minimized sources of error thanks to standardized processes
• Maximum planning security for commissioning and market access

Prequalification workflow – fast, secure, standardized

It all starts with flexible scheduling, where we coordinate directly with you and your presence on site is optional. For the actual PQ test, we rely on a fully standardized procedure that enables exact performance specifications and seamless data recording in accordance with the transmission system operator’s specifications. This reduces manual rework. We create ready-made test protocols that we submit for you.

The generated measurement data is then carefully pre-checked by our internal tools to minimize the risk of rejection by the transmission system operator. Finally, we take care of the entire application submission to the transmission system operator for you – you don’t have to worry about a thing.

This standardized, digital approach makes us the No. 1 for prequalification applications in Germany and gives our customers a decisive advantage in market development.

But at e2m, our service does not end with successful prequalification: our strength lies in providing our customers with intensive advice based on partnership. We support operators not only in entering the balancing energy market, but also in the optimal operation of their systems. Whether it’s schedules, flexibility management or technical issues relating to battery storage and CHP – our experts are at your side with many years of experience and practical solutions.

In this way, we ensure that your system is not only pre-qualified, but also optimally positioned during operation – technically, economically and in terms of regulations. More than just technology: advice that makes the difference

But we don’t stop at prequalification. At e2m, operators benefit from non-discriminatory bidding processes that ensure fair revenue distribution. Our strategies for FRR, PRL and intraday are based on years of experience and market data. We optimize not only battery storage, but also co-location (e.g. storage + PV) and biogas plants, which also benefit from the new e2m intraday algorithm.
