A producer that wants to actively participate in the energy market and achieve goals must have qualified people, large capital and meet complicated formal and legal conditions. The alternative is cooperation with TRADEA, which created an offering dedicated in particular to manufacturers in renewable sources: Renewables, business prosumers, small CHP plants and other industrial CHP firms. 

TRADEA OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE TO PRODUCERS FACILITATING THEIR ENTRY IN THE ENERGY MARKET AND FUNCTIONING IN IT. 
TRADEA THANKS TO THE QUALIFIED STAFF, WHO GAINED THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE LARGEST POLISH AND FOREIGN ENERGY COMPANIES, ESTABLISHING A POSITION IN THE WHOLESALE ENERGY MARKET, LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE IN COOPERATING WITH ENERGY PRODUCERS AND MANUFACTURERS OF SPECIALIZED TOOLS, THEY CAN HELP PRODUCERS ACHIEVE THEIR SET GOALS. 
 

We build our offering starting from the meeting with the producer and getting to know their expectations, object and subject structure. At the meeting, we also present advantages and disadvantages of individual energy sales directions depending on the generating units owned by the producer, their availability and energy supply profiles for the distribution network. On the basis of collected data, we develop a cooperation model along with proposals for energy sales directions and dedicated accounting algorithms. 

 
A comprehensive offering for the producer includes: 
 

1.    The purchase of electricity supplied to the DSO network 
Buying through TRADEA is carried out according to the model approved by the producer (from the simplest models based on a fixed price in different periods of cooperation, through to variable price models (in time horizons from hours to days, weeks, months to whole years), to hybrid models consisting of many directions of energy sales and their flexible selection depending on the circumstances and opportunities appearing in the market. 
 
2.    Optimization of delivery to the DSO network 
The service is dedicated to energy producers with production units that have the ability to modify the volume of deliveries to the DSO network (e.g. CHP gas systems, biogas plants, RES with energy storage). We set the scope of optimization at the working meeting stage with the producer, where we specify the characteristics of the unit’s work, its limitations and possibilities. The goal of optimization is to maximize the revenues of the producer from existing generating units. We realize this goal by increasing production in hours with high prices and lowering production in hours with low prices. In order to do this, we use all available market segments. 
 
3.    Performing the function of the Responsible Entity for Trade Balancing 
TRADEA is a participant of the balancing market through a transmission contract concluded with the Polish Transmission System Operator, which manages the balancing market in Poland.   TRADEA has a scheduling unit, a balancing entity code and in each Distribution Network Operator, balancing places, thanks to which it can implement a commercial balancing service for producers, customers and other energy market participants. 
TRADEA specializes in balancing complex systems. We create and successfully support systems with several generating units and distributed power consumption points connected at various locations in the DSO network, or to networks belonging to other DSOs. 
 
4.    Acting as an energy seller 
Energy recipients and producers connected to the distribution network draw electricity from the network to cover their own needs. 
In the case of energy producers, electricity consumption from the distribution network occurs if their own production is not enough to cover their needs. This happens at times of under-production, scheduled service withdrawals or failures. Currently, the majority of DSOs in Poland require that the entity buying electricity from the producer also be an energy seller for its own needs. 

TRADEA’S OFFERING FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTALLATIONS IN THE AUCTION SYSTEM

For investors implementing their generating units in the energy auction system, TRADEA additionally offers: 
 
1.    Selection of the most optimal, safe and dedicated model of electricity sales; 

2.    Assistance in registration of the producer and RES installation with Zarządca Rozliczeń SA being a statutory Operator of Renewable Energy Settlement. The service includes assistance in the preparation of documentation necessary to inform of RES installations to Zarządca Rozliczeń SA and help with the correct documentation; 

3.    Administrative support in obtaining and settling a negative balance with Zarządca Rozliczeń SA. The mere registration of the installation is not enough for the producer to receive support in the form of payment of the so-called ”Negative balance”. Zarządca Rozliczeń SA requires RES producers to prepare monthly reports and applications to cover a negative balance. 
TRADEA, as part of the agreement with RES producers, prepares and issues monthly required reports and applications to cover the “negative balance” to Zarządca Rozliczeń SA.
