Next Kraftwerke operates one of the largest virtual power plants in Europe. In the Next Pool, more than 15,000 decentralised electricity producers and consumers are networked via a platform and can therefore be controlled via the specially developed control system. With a networked generation capacity of over 12,000 megawatts, Next Kraftwerke helps to balance frequency fluctuations in the grid. In addition, the Cologne-based company, which has been part of the Shell Group since 2021, optimises the electricity production and consumption of networked customers based on price signals and trades their electricity on various European exchanges (e.g. EPEX and EEX) via its own 24/7 electricity trading system.
