A1 and green energy pioneer Enery have entered a strategic partnership to offer companies and battery energy storage system (BESS) operators in Austria an integrated marketing and optimization service.
The joint offering enables simultaneous participation across different markets – from short-term electricity trading (Day-Ahead and Intraday markets) to grid stability markets, where the provision of balancing capacity and balancing energy (FCR/aFRR/mFRR) is remunerated. Site-specific flexibility applications, such as targeted self-consumption control for cost optimization, are also directly available to industrial customers. This maximizes the revenue potential of battery storage systems while significantly simplifying participation in the energy market for customers.
Enery is responsible for optimizing battery operations across all relevant markets using its advanced trading models integrated with an AI-based algorithm. Based on this, Enery manages market participation in the Day-Ahead and Intraday trading markets. A1 ensures technical connection, secure integration, asset pooling, and access to ancillary services markets. Together, the two companies provide an integrated model that optimizes value creation across all revenue streams and offers customers a simple path to market access through a single point of contact.
Marrtin Resel, Deputy CEO of A1:
“For customers, access to the ancillary services market must be technically reliable and operationally simple. By combining A1’s technical integration, market connectivity, and asset pooling capabilities with Enery’s commercial optimization expertise, we are creating a solution that enables the profitable operation of battery storage systems — without requiring companies to build up their own trading expertise.”
Richard König, Enery:
“Battery storage systems become investable when they can be professionally optimized across multiple markets. That is exactly what our partnership with A1 is about: bringing multi-market optimization together in one integrated setup, simplifying market access, and maximizing the economic value of storage assets for our customers.”
By combining their respective strengths, A1 and Enery can unlock the full potential of energy storage and flexibility, helping establish battery storage systems as a bankable, scalable asset class in Austria. This gives companies the opportunity to better monetize storage capacities and sustainably improve the profitability of their storage projects.
Project developers benefit from a single partner covering the entire revenue stack by combining all available revenue streams for battery storage systems. Industrial companies can unlock new economic opportunities through the monetization of storage capacities and flexibility, while the energy system as a whole benefits from greater efficiency, reduced curtailment of renewable energy, and improved grid stability.
As Austria continues to advance its transition toward a low-carbon energy system, flexibility and storage play a central role in balancing supply and demand. A1 and Enery are actively shaping this development by creating the necessary infrastructure and market mechanisms for a modern and future-proof energy system.
