Your wind energy in the Virtual Power Plant
Wind power supplies clean electricity and the Belgian coast has a lot of wind to offer. Next Kraftwerke takes over the power trading of the electricity generated by your plant. Our Virtual Power Plant offers you particularly attractive conditions: We bring you to the electricity markets quickly, competently and transparently and with above-average revenue.
Our Offer
Sell your wind power at the electricity exchange
Your wind turbine can achieve more in the virtual power plant of Next Kraftwerke: You contact us via our contact form, we will then prepare a non-binding offer based on the key data of your turbine. If you are convinced, we sign a contract together and sell your electricity on the european electricity exchanges. You keep the additional proceeds from direct marketing and a bonus on top.
Uncomplicated: We trade your wind turbines on the spot market of the exchange, you feed in your wind power as usual.
Benefit from a wide variety of data: Your generated power is traded on the power exchanges by our skilled team of analysts and traders. The data from our virtual power plant is essential for this: real-time feed-in and feed-out data from thousands of installations - including yours - form the basis for accurate, powerful forecasts. We also continuously update market data from various trading centres, as well as the results of our own meteorological analyses.
Gain revenue: The analysis and evaluation of all these data enables us to trade renewable electricity above the market average and thus support the market integration of decentralised systems.
The revenues from your wind energy can be achieved in two ways: Next Kraftwerke pays you the proceeds from the sale of your electricity on the electricity exchange. Our real-time data analysis enables us to trade your electricity with highly qualified forecasts particularly efficiently to your advantage. In addition, you will receive the proceeds from the sale of your guarantees of origin and your green electricity certificates. Important for us and for you: Unlike other competitors at Next Kraftwerke, we and not you bear the balancing energy risks.
