Recipes for EVolution: How to Enter the Flexibility Market as a BESS Owner
A practical playbook for battery distributors, OEMs, project developers, property managers, and factory owners. Learn how to stack self-consumption, wholesale arbitrage, and grid-balancing revenue from a single BESS asset without breaking warranties or waiting years for a return.
Europe hits 100 GWh as utility-scale takes over the storage market
Europe added 36 GWh of new battery capacity in 2025 alone, with over half utility-scale.
But size is not the whole story.
Aggregated into a virtual power plant, a 0.5–5 MW BESS accesses the same flexibility markets as a 100 MW plant without a multi-year grid queue.
Integrators: The Music Agent
FLEXO plugs into your building or energy management system, reads market prices and weather data, and automatically bids, splits, and protects your battery's warranty.
Aggregators: The Record Label
Too small to bid alone? Aggregators pool your battery with hundreds of others into one VPP, big enough for wholesale trading, ancillary services, and full value stacking.
Value Stacking: Play the Full Symphony
Why settle for one revenue stream? FLEXO splits your battery across self-consumption, arbitrage, and balancing services simultaneously in real time.

But be careful!
As a mobility player, getting into the energy business has its hurdles, just like every other business initiative. So it would help if you asked the right questions:
- What is the region's total fleet share for EVs? And how is its charging infrastructure?
- What percentage of your fleet & charging infrastructure are enabled for smart charging, cloud communication, and control?
- Do consumers have access to dynamic tariff signals?
Download our paper to get a country-by-country overview of the opportunities across the EU. Plus, don’t miss the business model canvases we pre-filled for you, so that you consider all the most important aspects before getting started.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
