The rules of the energy market have changed. Since the sharp increase in the capacity charge at the start of 2025 and the simultaneous fall in the imbalance markets, ‘blind’ consumption at maximum capacity has become financially risky. No limit needs to be set for injection because there is no capacity charge for injection in Belgium.

Traditionally, batteries are set to charge and discharge at their full nominal capacity (100%). However, under the current tariff system, this causes huge peaks in your consumption, causing your grid costs to skyrocket and your trading profit to evaporate completely.

The solution: By setting a hard limit on peak power in SmartgridOne, you can avoid these unnecessary costs. You do this by setting a consumption limit. The impact is immediately visible. Correct limitation yields an average of €1,000 extra net profit per MW per month, and by reducing the contractually agreed access capacity with Fluvius, the extra net profit can even double.
