Use case - Decrease imbalance costs with active participation in the Continuous Intraday market

In today's dynamic energy landscape, achieving a perfectly balanced energy portfolio is nearly impossible. Whether you're forecasting production or consumption there's always a margin of error. However, as you approach the point of delivery, your forecasts tend to become more accurate, creating an opportunity to mitigate risk and reduce imbalance costs.

This is where Volue Position Closer comes in. By leveraging real-time data and continuous participation in the intraday market (e.g., EPEX Spot, up to five minutes before delivery), you can actively trade energy gaps and prevent costly imbalances. Instead of relying solely on static forecasts, you can make real-time adjustments and reduce penalties imposed by the Transmission System Operator (TSO) when the grid is imbalanced.

With Volue Position Closer, it's as simple as sending your updated forecast, and the software automatically handles the trading for you. The platform helps you execute trades near the volume-weighted average price, reducing your exposure to volatile imbalance costs.

Optimise your portfolio, reduce risk, and lower imbalance costs effortlessly with Volue Position Closer — your key to smarter energy trading.
