Transform residential device fleets into revenue-generating, cost-avoiding, and customer-delighting assets.
A complete overview of Residential Flex Trading, and how Podero makes it possible for utilities to transform device fleets into revenue-generating assets.
Many providers focused on controlling just one device type (e.g. EVs).
Typically only spot tariff customers benefit from optimization.
Steering without trading integration left utilities with no path to ROI at scale.
Lack of integration with trading, ERP & customer support systems hindered scaling.
Without integrated trading, flexibility solutions remained cost centers, not commercial products.

Integrate the Podero API into your customer portal. Synchronize the aggregated device fleet with your trades.
Trade flexibility for aggregated fleets via day-ahead spot optimization. Share market data that guides AI models, receive forecasted load curves, and monitor execution in real time.
Batteries capitalize on intraday price volatility. Podero delivers forecasting accuracy, real-time control, and market integration — nearly doubling battery profits beyond day-ahead alone.
Reduce the delta between forecast and actual consumption. Podero's forecasting and real-time steering brings consumption closer to market positions, lowering imbalance penalties.
Multi-day analytics, single day performance, individual trade details with day-ahead vs. executed comparison.
Imbalance costs (delta between forecast and actual consumption x imbalance price) cannot be eliminated, since customer consumption is never perfectly predictable.
But it can be significantly reduced through Podero's forecasting and steering capabilities giving closer alignment of consumption with market prices.
*Standard Load Profiles (SLPs) are used as proxy for utility forecasts • 100% steering compliance (optimized curve followed) • Full price transparency (spot & imbalance prices known ex post)
Residential Flex Trading synchronizes residential device steering with wholesale energy trading to create a new value stream for utilities.
