Energy markets move fast – and batteries are only as valuable as the strategy behind them. At Danske Commodities, we optimise dispatch and co-located production across multiple revenue streams, managing charge and discharge, protecting asset health and turning price swings into profit.
BESS and co-location
Your battery investment deserves peak returns
WHAT WE DO
Built to trade flexibility for maximum value
With 20+ years in short-term power markets, we know how to act on opportunities the moment they appear. Our algorithmic trading setup and real-time market insight give batteries and hybrid assets a strong optimisation foundation – capturing value across arbitrage, ancillary services and balancing markets continuously and in real time.
For co-located assets, we go further – reducing curtailment, optimising the interaction between generation and storage, and maximising total site value. The result is a battery that earns what it should, every day.
Our partner promise
At Danske Commodities, we treat our customers as partners. We work toward the same outcome as you – with aligned incentives, clear roles and open, honest communication. We won’t upsell what you don’t need. We’ll turn your challenges into solutions and back it with in-house trading, analytics and optimisation capabilities built for every stage of the process.
No unnecessary add-ons. No noise. Just disciplined execution and genuine collaboration – every cycle, every market, every day.
Because when you succeed, we succeed.

Your BESS and co-location questions. Answered.
How does battery optimisation work across multiple markets?
We optimise charge and discharge decisions continuously across arbitrage, ancillary services, balancing and intraday markets – choosing the best opportunity at every moment based on real-time price signals, forecasts and asset constraints. The goal is always maximum combined return, not just the highest single market value.
How do you protect battery health while maximising revenue?
Degradation and cycling constraints are built directly into our dispatch strategies. We balance short-term revenue opportunities against long-term asset economics – so your battery earns well today without sacrificing capacity or lifetime value tomorrow.
How does co-location change the optimisation approach?
Co-located assets require coordinated optimisation between generation and storage. We manage the interaction between the two – reducing curtailment, capturing flexibility value and maximising total site revenue in a way that a single-asset strategy cannot.
What commercial structures are available for BESS projects?
We tailor the commercial setup to your financing needs and risk appetite – merchant, tolling, partial-tolling and swap-based structures are all available. For developers, we can also provide long-term revenue visibility to support bankability and project financing.
