Route-to-market services for utility-scale BESS and renewables.

Yuso connects utility-scale batteries, renewables and hybrid sites to the electricity markets. We hold the market roles, trade and dispatch the asset, and act as principal: we settle every physical and financial flow with the market and the TSO, and pay your revenue straight to you, all under one contract.

Trading

The full revenue stack, from Y-1 to real time. Traded for your asset alone, by algorithms and a 24/7 desk.

03

Hedging

Guarantee part of your revenues through tolling, floors or swaps with one of our financial partners. Lock in what you need, and keep the market upside on the rest.

A physical power trading company where tech, utility and trading meet.

  • Tech culture · digital disruption mindset

    We build our own forecasting, trading and dispatch algorithms on a modular platform that adapts to any market, regulation and asset.

  • Utility culture · systems engineering mindset

    We understand the physical nature and the complexity of the assets we manage. We engage continuously with TSOs and regulators, and get grid codes, licences and settlement right every quarter hour.

  • Trading culture · financial mindset

    We trade and manage risk as principal, measured on realised revenue, with automation from market signal to battery dispatch, 24/7.

Where they meet: speed and agility (tech + trading), long-term thinking (tech + utility) and acting as principal (utility + trading). Most optimisers master one or two. We combine all three.

Schedule a demo

Built for large-scale BESS storage and renewables.

Three set-ups, one route to market. Every utility-scale contract is fully open book and covers the full set of market and grid services your asset can deliver.

Standalone solar and wind

Optimised merchant PPA

Yuso as your BRP: paid at DA prices and dispatched at the imbalance price. We also take care of the balancing and congestion services the grid asks of large-scale producers.

Hybrid: solar or wind + BESS

Multiple assets, one portfolio, one P&L

Renewables and batteries traded as one portfolio, behind a shared grid connection or across separate sites. Where assets share a connection, we also manage the priority rules, grid fees and limited connection capacity.

Dashboards shown with indicative figures.

Position, dispatch and P&L per revenue stream, in real time.

Market commentary, availability reporting and benchmarking of your asset.

New grid fee structures, curtailment rules and other changes that affect you. We follow them in TSO working groups and industry associations on your behalf.

We make your assets bankable

We optimise your co-located BESS and renewables as one portfolio, then lock in part of the revenue with a fixed-price baseload hedge. The result: revenue predictable enough to finance.

Three price risks, each one solved

Chart: solar price dip in the middle of the day, mild versus steep

Capture rate

Solar earns least when it produces most.

Battery shifts energy to peak prices
Chart: forecast versus actual production

Imbalance

Forecast errors cost you at the TSO price.

Battery nets deviations and earns aFRR / mFRR
Chart: same asset, different year, different price level

Price level

Low market prices hit every asset at once.

Baseload hedge fixes the price on part of the output

How Yuso optimises your hybrid asset

01

Size the battery

1, 2 or 4 hours against your renewable capacity, and what each is worth.

02

Size the hedge

To the revenue floor your lenders, investment committees or equity holders need.

03

Trade both as one

Day-ahead, intraday, imbalance, FCR and aFRR, 24/7.

04

Execute the hedge

We bring the baseload counterparty and run the pricing.

Example · onshore wind

7 MW wind + 5 MW / 20 MWh BESS + 2.2 MW baseload

Revenue per scenario for wind, BESS, wind plus BESS, baseload leg and full hybrid. Spread drops from 686k euro to 110k euro

Revenue spread across price scenarios: €686k without hedge, €110k as full hybrid.

84% less revenue uncertainty on the same asset.

Indicative figures, based on price scenarios. Not a forecast or a guarantee of revenue.

Frequently asked questions about route to market for BESS, solar, wind and hybrid sites.

What is BESS optimisation?

Deciding, every day and in real time, which markets a battery's capacity and energy go to: capacity, FCR, aFRR, mFRR, day-ahead, intraday or imbalance. Each market is valued against the ones that follow, within the battery's cycling and warranty limits.

What does a route-to-market partner do for a utility-scale asset?

It holds the market roles (BRP, BSP, supplier), trades and dispatches the asset, handles the grid obligations and settles every physical and financial flow back to the owner. Yuso does this under one open-book contract, with its own 24/7 trading desk.

Which revenue streams can a utility-scale battery earn?

Capacity mechanisms (the CRM in Belgium, the Capacity Market in Great Britain), balancing services (FCR, aFRR, mFRR, and Dynamic Containment, Moderation and Regulation in GB) and wholesale day-ahead, intraday and imbalance trading. Yuso optimises them as one stack.

What is a hybrid PPA, and why is it bankable?

A hybrid PPA combines a solar or wind park, a co-located battery and a fixed-price baseload hedge. The battery removes capture-rate and imbalance risk; the hedge fixes the price on part of the output. Baseload is liquid and can be hedged for up to ten years, so the revenue can carry debt.

Merchant, floor or tolling: which suits my battery?

Merchant keeps the full upside. A floor guarantees a minimum revenue and shares the upside above it. A toll fixes revenue for a period in exchange for the upside. Floors and tolls are arranged with a partner where your lender requires them.
