How your property can benefit from participating in the frequency market

Soon, your charging installation can help balance the frequency of the power grid and receive compensation for the effort.

Electric car charging may in the not too distant future be transformed from a cost item into a value creator. This through frequency market, helping in various ways to stabilize the power grid frequency at 50 Hz. Today, participation is an opportunity for larger players, but in the future, properties with electric car charging may have a role to play in balancing work.

Vision: small players in large networks

The idea is simple. By pooling the capacities of many small actors, so-called aggregators participate in the frequency market. Your property is then included and contributed through a larger pool. The property then supports the electricity grid — and can be replaced by Swedish power grid for the stake.

With smart charging technology, your property can:

1. Automatically adjust the charging power in case of system imbalance
2. Participate in virtual power grids buying and selling flexibility

The way forward

In order to be able to participate in the Frequency market in the future, your charging system is flexible and can be connected to the market for support services. Therefore, it is wise to invest in technologies that are future-proof and offer:

• Open communication with external marketing platforms
• Verified response time for quick adjustments
• Scalable software that grows with new regulations

By taking the plunge now, your property becomes a pioneer for a solution where each charging point can both pay off and strengthen sustainability efforts.
