Our services

Spark DP: Dynamic Pricing

The first line of defence in managing grid stability isn’t complex infrastructure—it’s your customer, the consumer.

Consumers receive signals to shift non-essential energy consumption to off-peak hours or to hours with high solar production. With smart meters and dynamic pricing, they’re encouraged to change their consumption behaviour, helping them save on bills and support grid stability.

This solution is available and free to use for all DSOs.

Spark LPC: Limitation of Power Consumption

When even the best-intentioned voluntary efforts fail to keep the grid balanced, our LPC takes effect.

Acting like an air traffic controller for the grid, it temporarily reduces power to high-energy devices during peak stress to ensure stability—all without major disruptions. It also predicts grid stress hotspots ahead of time, enabling proactive management and targeted interventions.

This solution is available and free to use for all DSOs.

Controllable Renewable Assets

Have access to controllable renewable assets as their massive rollout happens, enabling a smoother transition to sustainable energy while maintaining grid stability.

Simplicity in Flexibility

Achieve grid stability with user-friendly, scalable solutions that make flexibility accessible. It's not about complex tech; it’s about smart, achievable steps.

Maximum Impact—Minimal Cost

Leverage our free tools to shape consumption patterns, empowering everyone to support grid stability through smart, flexible energy use—building a resilient system for all.

Operating Model

Grid companies face issues with solar power throttling due to local grid restrictions. At the same time, increased consumption driven by spot price optimisation is causing peaks in local demand, which also leads to consumption throttling. Both production and consumption throttling contribute to congestion in the local grid and prevent renewables rollout.

Maximising solar power integration into the grid involves shifting neighbourhood consumption to daylight hours. Smart hot water tanks and EV charging offer flexible consumption, adapting behaviour to reduce the risk of local grid congestion.

Grid companies offer compensation through grid tariff products to encourage customer responsiveness. Customers can save at least NOK 100 per month by joining flexibility programs, with additional activation compensation, for example:

(Spot price current hour – lowest spot price for the day + 30 øre per kWh) x number of kWh for DP Service
(X) NOK per kWh for LPC Service

Customers in relevant areas receive compensation through deductions as an additional rebate line on their invoices. This clause rewards grid-friendly behaviour exclusively during periods with a high likelihood of grid congestion. The compensation tariff is updated daily once the spot price for the next 24 hours is known.

Compensation will be calculated on an hour-to-hour basis.

The basis for charged kWh relies on a regulatory-approved time series for compensation. If approved time series are unavailable, simplified methods are applied. This will, for example, be the case if time series measured by electric car chargers are not approved for use as a settlement basis for grid-friendly charging.

The new tariff, aligned with Norwegian regulations, is now available to all DSOs. The model operates independently of power purchase agreements, allowing flexibility in the choice of grid-aware charging service providers.

Free to use at no cost for all DSOs in the Nordics and the EU.
