BESS AssetsWe develop, own and operate our own BESS assets with a current focus on Germany. Our asset pipeline is currently at +300 MW / +600 MWh of live, in construction or ready-to-build assets. All of our assets are part of LAYR where their flexibility is optimized and in long term tolls. |
LAYRWith our "LAYR" platform, a cloud-like software, we virtually (dis)aggregates our own and third-party BESS, to provide energy flexibility "as-a-service" to power producers, traders, optimizers, grid operators, and energy-intensive businesses like data centers. With LAYR, BESS owners benefit from access to top tier optimizers (with performance-based capacity allocation) and tolling off-takers. Further they get the ability to individually calibrate the revenue stack of their BESS (contracted / merchant), and a one-stop-shop for asset infrastructure setup and prequalification. Flexibility off-takers can access storage capacity through an asset-light model, without the need for their own infrastructure, and manage it seamlessly via the LAYR API |
