More revenue with full security of supply: e2m and VK Energie combine their strengths

The energy transition poses enormous challenges for plant operators: volatile energy markets, increasing regulatory requirements and the complexity of hybrid structures consisting of electricity, heat and storage. Heat-led plants in particular are caught between security of supply and economic efficiency. Only those who intelligently combine technical optimization and access to all relevant energy markets will be successful.

This is precisely where e2m and VK Energie come in – two specialists combining their expertise to create a unique offering: technical excellence meets comprehensive market access. Customers benefit twice over: they reliably secure their heat supply and increase their revenues at the same time.

Who is VK Energie?

VK Energie is a service provider with a focus on optimizing complex energy systems. VK Energie has in-depth expertise in operational management, the intelligent control of heat generators and storage systems and the use of innovative technologies such as hydrogen, particularly for heat-led systems. The aim is always to achieve an optimum balance between economy, efficiency and flexibility.

A strong double:
Technical depth meets market access

The partnership thrives on clearly distributed but perfectly complementary skills:

VK Energy

  • Optimization of complex, heat-controlled and hybrid systems
  • AI-supported deployment plans
  • Experience from numerous projects with utilities and energy suppliers
  • Expertise in the integration of heat, electricity, hydrogen and storage

e2m

  • Access to all relevant energy and balancing energy markets
  • Integration into a large, diversified marketing portfolio
  • Forecast data, automation & modern IT interfaces
  • Access to all relevant energy and balancing energy markets
  • Market-oriented, cross-technology optimization of power-led, flexible systems – from offshore wind to battery storage and co-location projects to industrial loads such as fans
  • Many years of experience with battery storage and hybrid systems

The result: customers benefit from an integrated overall package that combines technical optimization and economic marketing – particularly valuable for operators of heat-led systems who want to tap into flexibility potential while maintaining their security of supply.

Practical example biogas plant Falkenstein

A prime example of successful cooperation is Danpower’s Falkenstein biogas plant. VK Energie ensures the technically and economically optimized operation of the plant, while e2m markets the energy generated via all relevant markets – day-ahead, intraday and balancing power. Automated interfaces connect both worlds: from schedule creation to marketing and billing. The result is a project process that is not only efficient, but also highly reliable.

“The decisive factor for us was that e2m provides access to all relevant markets from a single source – from control power to intraday and day-ahead trading. This complements our technical optimization perfectly.” Michael Jedinger, Head of Operations at VK Energie

Partnership at eye level

The collaboration is characterized by a clear allocation of roles, transparency and short paths. VK Energie is responsible for operational management and strategic definition, while e2m ensures implementation on the market and reliably fulfills regulatory requirements.

“e2m and VK Energie currently offer the best combination of marketing and optimization of heat-led systems. The partnership shows how technical expertise and market access can go hand in hand. Together, we create solutions for our customers that set standards both economically and technologically.” Kai Becker, Chief Development Officer at e2m

Unique offering for complex energy systems

The cooperation between e2m and VK Energie offers operators of complex and particularly heat-led systems a decisive advantage: technical excellence and comprehensive market access from a single source.

For utilities, operators and project planners, this creates an offer that intelligently combines security of supply, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Looking to the future, both partners see enormous potential – especially in the area of battery storage, where flexibility can be tapped even more effectively.

In short: with e2m and VK Energie, customers get the best of both worlds – and a solution that not only accompanies the energy transition, but actively shapes it.

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.
