What are your possibilities?

Companies can leverage their flexibility in different ways. Watts.Happening helps you navigate implicit and explicit flexibility opportunities, as follows:

  • Implicit flexibility opportunities via the day-ahead, intraday, and real-time (often called imbalance) markets.
  • Explicit flexibility opportunities via the provision of balancing services and participation in Belgium's Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM).

Note that the price stability of the options decreases when moving closer to real-time. In other words, the electricity price will fluctuate more and become more unpredictable closer to real-time, hence increasing the risks when providing flexibility.

Simulate your flexible asset

it's a 2-minute exercise that provides a first estimation of the value of your flexibility

The image is a pie chart illustrating the distribution of value between an owner and a partner.  The vast majority (70-90%) of the value is attributed to the owner, represented by the larger teal segment. A smaller segment (10-30%) shows the partner's share, depicted in a lighter teal with diagonal stripes.  The chart visually emphasizes the significantly higher value contribution of the owner compared to the partner.

Allocation of the Market Value between the Different Actors

The value created through flexibility is generally not entirely to the benefit of the asset owner. Depending on the partners involved (aggregators, suppliers, service providers) and their business model, typically between 10 and 30% of the value created is the remuneration of the partner(s).
