Our mission is to make flexible energy available on demand. That’s why we have LAYR, our flexibility platform – bridging the gap between flexible energy supply and demand. ⚡ We empower asset owners to monetise their capacity through LAYR, securing offtake at premium rates from top-tier trading desks. ⚡⚡ For traders, we provide the infrastructure, market access, and operational capabilities needed to launch and scale battery trading – without having to build the underlying technology stack. ⚡⚡⚡ And energy buyers can use LAYR to bid for capacity slices, from one day to one year, without ever owning the physical asset. LAYR connects batteries to the markets that need their flexibility, making storage more accessible, scalable, and valuable to the grid. #BatteryStorage #Energiezukunft

European power demand is growing. We’re keeping up 🔋 We’re excited to announce another successful launch: our BESS project in Lohsa, Saxony, is now fully operational, adding 8 MW of flexible capacity to the German grid. We’re proud to have delivered this project together with our partner, AXSOL. A few key facts: 🛠️ Structure: 4 × 20-foot battery containers, plus separate inverters, MV skids and ancillary equipment ⚡ Capacity: 8 MW / 17.5 MWh 🚀 Partnership milestone: Our second COD project delivered together with AXSOL 📍 Location: Lohsa, Saxony 🔋 Technology: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) BESS is a crucial part of Europe’s evolving energy architecture, and we’re proud to contribute to building a more flexible and resilient energy system. Warm congratulations and thank you to the entire project team, our partner AXSOL, the DSO MITNETZ STROM, and everyone else who contributed to the successful delivery of this asset. On to the next one! ⚡ #BatteryStorage #Energiespeicher #EnergyTransition #BESS

🔋 BESS are becoming increasingly important for the municipal energy sector. But how can they be integrated effectively? Municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) are actively exploring the potential of BESS. By adding flexibility to the energy system, BESS can help better align generation and consumption, make more efficient use of grid connections, and unlock additional revenue streams. However, developing an integrated battery storage project can be challenging, with many factors to consider along the way. That is why we are looking forward to diving deeper into the topic at “Zusammen geht das BESSer” (BESSer Together), an event hosted by our partners at Stadtwerke Duisburg AG: https://lnkd.in/dgrMDnqN Together, we will explore how to successfully develop battery storage projects across the entire implementation chain: 🔋 How do you evaluate a suitable site? ⚡ What requirements arise from a grid perspective? 📋 Which technical and legal aspects should be considered early on? 💶 How do you build a viable business case? 📈 What can marketing and subsequent operations look like?

(DE/ENG) Flexible Netzanschlüsse brauchen bundeseinheitliche Spielregeln – und zwar jetzt. Handelsblatt hat letzte Woche über eine gemeinsame Branchenposition zu FCA-Mindeststandards in § 17 EnWG berichtet, initiiert von DWR eco und Voltwise Power. Wir unterstützen die Initiative als Unterzeichner. Aus unserer Projektpraxis ein paar Beispiele: nachträglich auferlegte FCAs trotz unterzeichnetem Netzanschlussvertrag, per einfachem Schreiben herabgesetzte Leistungsgradienten ohne projektspezifische Begründung, verbindliche Zusagen aus 2024 bleiben bis heute ohne Vertrag, weil der FCA-Standard noch in Arbeit ist. Das ist kein Vorwurf an einzelne Netzbetreiber, sondern die Folge eines Regelungsvakuums. § 17 Abs. 2b EnWG hat FCAs ermöglicht, ohne Leitplanken zu setzen. Was wir zusätzlich in unserem Inputpapier zum Netzanschlusspaket vorschlagen: ▪️ Verbindliche Fristen für Netzanschlussverträge und Anschlussbedingungen ▪️ FCA-Angebot gemeinsam mit dem Netzanschlussvertrag, plus echtes Verhandlungsrecht für beide Parteien ▪️ Keine nachträgliche Verschlechterung ohne erhöhte Begründungslast ▪️ Eine Kappungsgrenze für entschädigungsfreie Beschränkungen – denn was sich nicht modellieren lässt, wird nicht finanziert Ein Teil der Netzbetreiber verhandelt sehr konstruktiv mit uns. Der Konflikt ist nicht strukturell, es fehlt der Rahmen. Das Netzanschlusspaket ist die Gelegenheit, die Richtungsentscheidung in § 17 EnWG zu treffen. Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass der Gesetzgeber sie nutzt – und bringen unsere Praxiserfahrung gerne ein. Den Link zum Artikel gibt's in den Kommentaren. ____ Flexible grid connections need clear, uniform rules across Germany. Handelsblatt reported last week on a joint industry position regarding minimum FCA standards under Section 17 of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG), initiated by DWR eco and Voltwise Power. We are supporting this initiative as a signatory. From our project experience, a few examples: FCAs imposed retrospectively despite a signed grid connection agreement, capacity gradients reduced by simple letter without project-specific justification, and binding commitments from 2024 that still remain without a contract because the FCA standard is still being developed. This is not about blaming individual grid operators. Rather, it reflects a regulatory gap. As part of our input to the Grid Connection Package (Netzanschlusspaket), we support binding deadlines for grid connection agreements, FCA offers alongside those agreements with a genuine right to negotiate for both parties, stronger protection against retroactive changes, and limits on uncompensated curtailment. The objective is a framework that provides greater certainty for both grid operators and project developers. Many grid operators are engaging very constructively; what is needed now is a clear and reliable nationwide framework.

The industry's first multi-asset battery capacity toll is now delivered in full: all 55 MW operational with Vattenfall 🔋 From initial structure to execution to full delivery: the first-of-its-kind, 7-year contract was signed in May 2025. The first 5 MW went live in January, and the full contracted capacity has been delivered since July, stable at every step of the ramp-up. 🚀 Virtual tolling is no longer a concept. It runs, at scale. In practice: say Vattenfall decides, based on market signals and portfolio needs, to charge 25 MW for an hour and bid 30 MW into balancing markets. LAYR translates those signals into real-time dispatch across eight batteries in Germany, automatically and load-optimised. One virtual battery, behaving like a physical one. What makes the structure unique: it's not a traditional toll tied to a single physical asset, but also not a purely financial product either – every megawatt is physically delivered, backed by real batteries in terralayr's balancing group and reserve pool. Why it matters: a renewables-heavy grid needs short-term flexibility. Storage can provide it. Aggregated and standardised, battery capacity becomes as easy to buy as cloud capacity. No CapEx, no operational overhead – scalable, and bankable. Congratulations to the teams at Vattenfall and terralayr who took this from signature to 55 MW live ⚡
