Flexcity is pioneering the Dutch energy market with the first 4-hour battery optimisation, through optimizing the battery developed and owned by S4 Energy. As a leader in flexibility solutions, we are helping S4 Energy optimize the battery’s participation across multiple flexibility markets, ensuring its full potential is unlocked.
Maximizing Value Across Markets
The flexibility landscape evolves rapidly, and longer-duration batteries like S4 Energy’s 4-hour system provide a key advantage. By leveraging our expertise in balancing services and wholesale market optimization, we ensure the asset delivers maximum value.
Dominique Becker Hoff, CCO of S4 Energy, highlights: "Our 4-hour BESS in Rilland marks a major step forward for grid flexibility in the Netherlands. Partnering with enspired and Flexcity allows us to optimize trading strategies to ensure real-time market adaptation for peak efficiency. This collaboration improves cycle management, reduces energy losses, and extends battery life through smart forecasting and automated trading. By deploying innovative energy storage solutions at the Rilland BESS, we are strengthening grid resilience, stabilizing electricity prices, and preventing congestion. These efforts pave the way for a more reliable, cost-efficient, and sustainable energy future."
Arnout Artgeerts, CEO of Flexcity, adds: "S4 Energy was forward-looking in the Dutch market in being the first to install a 4h battery. We are happy that they chose us to help them get the most out of the battery by setting it in different flex markets."
A Strong Partnership with enspired
Together with our partner enspired, we are strengthening the role of batteries in the Dutch energy transition. enspired, a specialist in algorithmic trading, enhances the wholesale market participation of the battery, further increasing its profitability.
Juergen Mayerhofer, CEO of enspired, adds: “This project with S4 Energy is our first in the Netherlands and, therefore, very special to us. 4-hour batteries offer tremendous commercial value, and we are committed to unlocking the asset’s full potential in the wholesale market.”
Accelerating the Energy Transition
At Flexcity, we are committed to empowering businesses to make the most of their flexible energy assets. The success of this project with S4 Energy and enspired marks a significant step forward for battery storage in the Netherlands, demonstrating how innovative solutions can enhance grid stability and market efficiency.
We look forward to continuing our work in advancing energy flexibility solutions and shaping the future of sustainable energy.
