Mehr zu den Start-ups
| Was macht ihr und was unterscheidet euch von euren Wettbewerbern? | PowerHive is an independent energy trading and market access platform for businesses, asset owners and optimizers. We provide direct access to wholesale and flexibility markets and handle the full execution stack, including BRP services, settlement and billing. Our platform is execution-only: trading strategy and asset dispatch remain with the customer or their chosen EMS. PowerHive is deliberately positioned at the execution layer of the energy value chain. Instead of offering a bundled, closed solution, we enable any EMS or optimizer to connect to our platform. This unbundled approach gives customers full transparency into prices, positions and results, while avoiding dependency on a single technology or commercial model. Our customers include commercial and industrial asset owners, battery developers, energy hubs and professional EMS providers. Many operate complex, multi-site portfolios or combine batteries with solar, wind and EV charging. What they have in common is a need for control, flexibility and the ability to continuously improve performance without being locked into one provider. |

| Wie schätzt ihr den Markt 2026 in eurem Tätigkeitsfeld ein? | By 2026, batteries will have firmly transitioned from “add-on flexibility” to core system infrastructure. As renewable penetration increases, volatility becomes structural rather than incidental. At the same time, grid congestion is no longer a temporary bottleneck but a persistent constraint across many European regions. In this context, system stability will depend on fast, controllable flexibility. Batteries will play a central role — not because they are the largest assets, but because they are the most adaptable. The competitive advantage will no longer lie in battery size alone. The winners will be those who can move value across markets in real time, responding to short-term price spreads and system signals with minimal friction. PowerHive’s ambition is to be the execution backbone that enables exactly that. |

| Was sind eure größten Herausforderungen? | In the Netherlands, most core power markets are now integrated into the platform. The current focus is on enabling more advanced trading structures and allowing batteries to participate in increasingly sophisticated market combinations. At the same time, scalability requires a different delivery model. PowerHive is actively working on white-label and SaaS versions of its platform, allowing optimizers, retailers and resellers to license the execution layer rather than building it themselves. This approach lowers barriers to entry and accelerates innovation across the ecosystem. The main challenge is no longer technical feasibility, but standardization. Each European market still comes with its own data formats, processes and settlement rules, making cross-border scaling unnecessarily complex. |

| Welche Wünsche habt ihr an an Politik, Netzbetreiber und andere? | If flexibility is to scale at the pace required for the energy transition, market access needs to become simpler and more uniform. Differences in price signals are healthy and necessary, but differences in basic operational mechanics are not. Greater transparency, standardized data access and more consistent market messaging from DSOs would significantly reduce the cost and complexity of operating across multiple markets. Today, fragmentation remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling flexible assets across Europe. Standardize the market, and let innovation happen on top. That is how batteries, and flexibility more broadly, can deliver their full value to the energy system |
