Renewable production management

Sinergy Energiakereskedő Kft., a 100% subsidiary of ALTEO Nyrt., has more than a decade of experience in production management and system-level services. We have been scheduling renewable-based producers for nearly 20 years, and since 2020 we have also performed schedule-group representative functions.

Our company is now responsible for managing a portfolio with a total capacity of nearly 2 000 MW and various technologies (consisting of solar, wind, hydro, biogas, landfill-gas and natural-gas-fired power plants and electricity storage facilities). With the help of our balancing centre, we can put more than 1 200 MW of flexible generation and storage capacity into the service of the Hungarian electricity system every day.

The animation illustrates the logic of the process: from making contact, through the customised offer and optimisation, to continuous value creation.

Our group of companies has operated a balancing centre for more than a decade, with the help of which we can put more than 1200 MW of flexible generation and storage capacity into the service of the Hungarian electricity system day after day.

A technical solution that enables several smaller independent generating units, when combined, to appear as one large power plant on the market for electricity and system-level services, thereby realising an extremely efficient, flexible and economical energy generation technology that also meets the challenges and expectations of the 21st century. This system-organisation principle can be extended equally to gas engines and to plants using renewable energy sources, primarily wind and solar power plants.

The ALTEO group also plays a pioneering role in this form of energy generation: its gas engine balancing centre was established at the end of 2013 with an installed capacity of nearly 40 MW, which has since grown to 125 MW. And since May 2023, on a new level, a balancing centre integrating power plants based entirely on renewable energy sources has begun operation, whose controllable capacity already exceeds 1000 MW. While the system has also continuously grown in terms of capacity, based on the experience gained during operation the company has managed to develop a much more balanced, profit-centric and customer-oriented commercial model that entails lower operational and business risk.

Thanks to the business operation based on the fundamental pillars below, the ALTEO group’s balancing centre won the „Balancing Centre of the Year” title announced by the Hungarian Cogeneration Association in 2015.

ALTEO’s mission is to provide a high-value-added, high-quality Balancing Centre service tailored to customers’ needs, and to this end it operates and develops a complex system capable of integrating previously independent market participants, thereby significantly increasing the overall efficiency and profitability of the individual partners and of the system.
