Revenue stream · aFRR / mFRR

Get paid to stabilize the grid

aFRR (Sekundärregelleistung) and mFRR (Minutenreserve) are Bundesnetzagentur-regulated balancing programs: when a TSO needs more or less power on the grid, it dispatches to prequalified units. Commercial batteries respond faster than any thermal plant — and earn an availability payment just for being ready. encosa handles prequalification via regelleistung.net, automates daily bid submission, and manages SOC so aFRR participation runs alongside FCR and spot trading.
