Your heat and power questions. Answered.
What markets can heat and power assets participate in?
Combined heat and power (CHP) assets can participate across Spot, Intraday and ancillary services – including mFRR, aFRR and FCR – covering the full range of balancing products available in each market. For assets with electric boilers, additional flexibility value can be captured through demand response and load optimisation.
How does automated dispatch work for heat and power assets?
Our system integrates directly with your asset management setup, providing real-time market signals, forecasts and recommendations that support your dispatch decisions. As CHP dispatch remains locally anchored, we act as your market-facing partner – translating opportunities into clear guidance so you can act when it matters. You retain full control through a clear trading overview and nomination tool, while we handle the complexity of market participation around the clock.
How do you handle balance responsibility for heat and power assets?
We take on balance responsibility on your behalf, managing forecasting, position adjustments and imbalance exposure continuously. You get proactive guidance and a dedicated contact who supports both long-term planning and daily nominations.
Can heat and power assets be optimised alongside storage or renewables?
Yes – we optimise across asset types, managing the interaction between thermal, storage and renewable generation to maximise total portfolio value. This is particularly relevant for district heating operators and industrial sites with multiple asset types on the same site.
