Participate in electricity markets

Join reserve markets and get extra revenue while supporting grid stability. Grid-scale projects can go further, accessing wholesale and local flexibility markets on top.

Join reserve markets via a virtual pool

Reserve markets have technical requirements that a single battery rarely meets alone. With Cactos, your system joins a virtual pool, enabling automatic reserve market participation.

Access wholesale and flexibility markets

As a Cactos customer with a grid-scale system, your battery can trade in day-ahead and intraday wholesale markets and bid into local flexibility markets, opening up revenue streams beyond reserve markets.

Unlock new revenue and support the grid

By offering capacity to the grid, your battery helps keep the electricity system in balance – and earns income in return. Your earnings depend on system size, participated markets and prices, and available hours.

* Market participation is currently available in Finland. Contact us to learn more about your country's status.

Maximise the value of energy storage

For commercial and industrial sites, local operations form the foundation of value. With Cactos, you can tackle your local energy challenges and complement these benefits with market revenues.

Grid-scale projects can access a broader selection of electricity markets and thus generate value solely from market operations.

Whether your battery serves a commercial property or is dedicated to market operations, Cactos ensures it always works in the most profitable way – without any manual intervention on your part.

Local and grid operations hand in hand

In an C&I use, such as manufacturing plant, logistics terminal or a greenhouse, our energy storage systems participate in ancillary services markets through a virtual battery pool managed by Cactos. We handle trading and reporting, while you enjoy the income.

Participation in the markets doesn’t override local benefits. For example, if you need momentary extra power, Cactos automatically switches modes to deliver it and then returns to the reserve markets once the local demand is met.

Participation is currently available in Finland. Contact us to learn more about your country's status. The compensation is determined on the reserve markets. The amount depends on factors such as your Cactos energy storage system's size, market prices, and the number of hours you offer reserve capacity. Learn more about reserve markets.
