Balanz unlocks the full market value of renewable energy

We enable producers, energy suppliers, and optimizers to achieve higher revenues and significantly lower costs by expanding their market participation and applying real-time forecasting, data, and automated trading operations.

What we do

Balanz connects renewable assets and flexibility to all major power markets through automated trading operations.

We build our system from the individual asset level upward using real-time metering data, asset-specific forecasting, and algorithmic trading to optimize every MWh.

With continuous insight into each asset’s position, we manage participation in day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and congestion markets with greater accuracy and lower risk. Where traditional players rely on manual operations acting on aggregated or lagging data within rigid legacy IT systems, Balanz delivers continuous, data-driven market execution with full transparency and control.

Who we serve

Balanz supports three groups shaping the future of the power system: asset owners, energy suppliers, and optimizers. Each requires accurate data, fast market access, and automated operations — and Balanz provides a single infrastructure built for all three.
Asset Owners

We help renewable and flexible assets capture more market value by expanding participation beyond day-ahead markets. With real-time forecasting, automated trading, and asset-level control, owners gain higher revenues, lower imbalance costs, and better protection against volatility.

Energy Suppliers

We provide suppliers with live behind-the-meter data, asset-level forecasting, and automated position management. This reduces exposure to imbalance, improves procurement accuracy, and enables sharper pricing for end customers — without requiring changes to existing IT systems.

Optimizers

We give optimizers direct, risk-free access to power markets through our open API and automated trading layer. This allows battery operators, smart-charging platforms, and other flexibility services to monetize their strategies on balancing and congestion markets without needing their own market licenses or trading desks.

Why the old model is no longer working

Europe’s power system was designed for centralized generation and predictable demand. Today, rapid growth in solar, wind, and storage exposes the limits of that model.

Most market structures still rely on aggregated forecasts, socialized imbalance costs, and inflexible contracts. As volatility increases, these legacy approaches create structural inefficiencies:

  1. Negative prices and cannibalization reduce revenues for renewable producers.

  2. Traditional PPAs restrict flexibility or don't reward it, forcing assets to generate even when prices turn negative or missing out on flexibility revenues.

  3. Imbalance costs continue to rise, driven by outdated forecasting methods and slow operational processes.

  4. Manual trading and lagging data make it difficult to react to rapid intraday changes.

  5. Legacy BRP and supplier systems cannot scale with the speed and granularity required for decentralized portfolios.

  6. Small innovators lack market access because integration with established players is slow or impossible.

The result is a system that penalizes flexibility rather than rewarding it and leaves significant value unclaimed across the entire chain.

What we do different

Balanz is built for the power system of the future, where real-time data from assets, sensors, and advanced weather models drives predictability and value creation. We optimize from the individual asset upward, rather than from aggregated portfolios, ensuring that every MWh is operated with precision and that the value of flexibility is fully captured. This asset-first approach stands in contrast to traditional models where optimization is averaged across portfolios and individual gains are lost in socialized cost structures.

Our differentiation comes from four structural principles

1. Asset-level operations not aggregrated portfolios

We model and operate each asset individually using real-time metering data and location-specific forecasting. This provides more accurate positions, earlier detection of deviations, and better responses to intraday volatility.

2. Continuous, automated market execution

Balanz replaces manual trading desks and slow operational workflows with automated strategies informed by real-time data. This reduces imbalance costs, improves capture rates, and enables participation across all short-term, balancing, and congestion markets.

3. Transparent, tracable decision making

Every forecast, action, and trade is logged with a clear rationale and outcome. This gives producers, suppliers, and optimizers complete insight into how value is created and prevents the opacity common in traditional BRP and trading setups.

4. A Modern, scalable IT architecture

Our platform integrates the best available technologies into a lean, modular system without legacy constraints. This enables low-cost operations, fast onboarding, open API access, and reliable market communication at scale.

Our services

We offer a range of services to help you optimize your assets and maximize your returns.

Balanz PPA

The security of a guaranteed price without losing the value of flexibility

Today’s market forces asset owners to choose between two imperfect models:

Fixed Price PPA — Bankable and predictable, but it blocks access to intraday, balancing, and congestion markets, leaving most flexibility value unused. Full Merchant — Full exposure to market value, but no guaranteed income. When a third party controls your asset, you cannot forecast your return and you carry the risk of their trading decisions.

Balanz introduces a new model.

We guarantee a floor revenue, not just a floor price, while giving asset owners the upside from flexibility and performance. Instead of keeping optimization gains as trading margin, we return them to the asset owner — fully transparent, with the lowest transaction costs in the market.

A PPA that protects the downside, unlocks the upside, and keeps the value where it belongs: with the asset.

Market Access

APIs to all major power markets

Your algorithms stay in control while Balanz manages execution and compliance.

Balanz gives optimizers real-time, API-based access to day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and congestion markets without needing a BRP license or a 24/7 trading desk.

  1. API-first, no legacy integrations such as XML schemas or sFTP folders

  2. Direct market access for day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and congestion markets

  3. License flexibility: bring your own BRP license, let us help you obtain one, or operate under ours

  4. No exclusivity or lock-ins — your market access setup can evolve as you grow

  5. Accelerated time to market without the burden of regulatory approval or building a trading operation

Balanz removes the operational and regulatory barriers, allowing optimizers to scale their innovation directly into the energy markets.

Forecasting & Position Management

Lower imbalance costs, higher flex value

Balanz helps energy suppliers reduce imbalance costs and increase the value of flexibility by providing real-time visibility and automated position management. We connect directly to assets and meters, process live data streams, and generate accurate forecasts that update continuously throughout the day.

  1. Reliable, real-time portfolio forecasting based on metering data, high-resolution weather models, and asset-level insights
  2. Automated detection of deviations to act earlier than manual trading desks
  3. Lower imbalance exposure through continuous intraday adjustments and automated trading strategies
  4. Integrated asset and meter connectivity for a complete view of expected production and consumption
  5. Optimized flex activation to capture value when market conditions shift
  6. Transparent reporting showing how each forecast and action contributes to lower costs and improved performance

Balanz gives suppliers a real-time operational trade layer.
