Ecotricity picks Next Kraftwerk to partner on countrywide balancing service

Ecotricity has formed a partnership with Next Kraftwerke to regulate and balance energy generation, storage and demand, countrywide in real time.

Businesses with energy storage systems, energy generators and customers that can manage their demand will all be able to benefit financially from being part of this new approach to energy.

Ecotricity are the first company to use Next Kraftwerke’s new Nemocs software platform, which uses algorithms to monitor and manage energy assets (generation, storage and demand) to better balance supply and demand in real time.

Jochen Schwill, CEO and co-founder of Next Kraftwerke, said: “We have developed Nemocs building on everything we have learned over the past 10 years, because we strongly believe that it is important to use all the flexibility which already is on the market to make the energy system more efficient. Nemocs provides a way to do so and we are happy to now cooperate with Ecotricity, one of the green energy pioneers, to optimize their production.”
