2025 was the year of continued development and scaling up for Repowered! We look back on a year full of breakthroughs and professional growth—all aimed at creating a greater positive impact for our clients. We’ve outgrown the startup phase and are ready to take even more steps toward further growth and impact in 2026.
In this New Year’s update, we look back on our progress in 2025 and look ahead to what 2026 has in store for Repowered.
Looking Back on 2025
For Repowered, 2025 was primarily a year of continued growth and expansion. We expanded our team, client base, and portfolio of projects, moved into a new office in Amsterdam, and brought greater stability and structure to our organization. At the same time, the market for batteries, flexibility, and congestion management accelerated, and we were able to align ourselves with these trends more effectively.
Our team grew by thirteen new colleagues. This was necessary, as our workload is increasing and becoming more complex. Consultancy further professionalized and evolved into a full-fledged strategic partner for organizations seeking to understand, design, and optimize their energy systems. Operations became more stable and customer-focused, with better coordination between internal teams and external partners, as well as a smoother onboarding process for new clients. Data & IT made significant strides in scalability, integrations, and insights for clients.
From a technical standpoint, we achieved significant milestones. We went live with fully automated trading on the ex-post market at the end of 2025. This allows us to further optimize our imbalance position after delivery, which directly benefits customers. This effect will be reflected on invoices starting in January 2026. We also established thirteen stable connections with various energy management systems, making integrations more stable and scalable.
A key moment this year was the launch of Optima, our new optimization algorithm. Optima is the successor to our previous system and makes smarter choices through better predictions of market prices, generation, and consumption. The algorithm looks not only at individual installations, but at the whole picture: installations, locations, grid capacity, market prices, subsidies, and interrelationships. In practice, this means more stable performance, lower costs, and higher returns, even under changing market conditions.VrijopNaamwas our launch customer and demonstrated how a portfolio of flexible assets can be managed across multiple markets, while taking local constraints into account.
The energy market evolved rapidly in 2025. This was reflected in new projects and customers, as well as in our growing role in congestion management. As a Congestion Service Provider, we tripled the number of capacity-limiting contracts (CBCs) signed. In addition, we made all grid operators’ calls visible in real time on our customer portal, so customers can immediately see what is happening and why.
We also made significant strides on the consulting side. The consulting team expanded by two colleagues and developed new models, such as SCOTT for smarter battery sizing in scenarios involving combined consumption and generation. Our analyses for hydrogen, energy hubs, and congestion solutions have become more in-depth and efficient. At the same time, we have refined our reports and dashboards so that insights can be applied more quickly. Notable projects this year included H2 Hollandia, projects at Waternet, and various energy hub initiatives.
Collaborations played a key role. We worked more closely with existing partners and welcomed new clients, including Google and Schiphol! In addition, we launched amonthly market update to keep clients and partners better informed about current developments in the energy market and what that means for them.
Finally, with a larger team and plenty of group outings, the internal atmosphere was really great. Our events committee made sure we had plenty of variety outside of work, with a group ski trip planned for early 2026—something to look forward to!
A Look Ahead to 2026
In 2026, we will continue to build out our multi-market optimization capabilities. This means better integration with various energy markets, improved real-time monitoring and control, and scalable data products for optimizing energy performance. At the same time, we are investing in user-friendly dashboards, automated reporting, and broad integration with hardware and EMS systems. The focus is on both commercial and industrial customers with decentralized solar, battery, and flex assets, as well as larger grid-scale players seeking advanced market access and risk management. We are also working to expand our customer base and build stronger strategic partnerships to strengthen our position in the energy market.
A key step is providing access to aFRR for solar farms. aFRR helps maintain the balance of the power grid by quickly ramping up or down flexible capacity. We expect to be able to provide access to our first customers in the spring of 2026, just when the sun is at its brightest. This offers opportunities for additional returns and a more stable grid.

Please note: Participation requires a pyranometer at the solar park.
In addition, we will go live on the intraday market in 2026. This will allow us to better align production with demand and optimize short-term pricing. Customers will be able to adjust their positions in the event of negative prices, respond to current weather forecasts, and strategically reschedule battery usage to maximize returns.
With congestion management, we will take another major step forward in 2026. With the introduction of CSC contracts , a new type of flexibility contract will become available. We are also committed to further scaling up CBCs for feed-in. Customers can easily participate through our standard agreements with grid operators.
While the Data & IT team focuses on further developing a scalable, reliable platform, we on the operations side are increasingly positioning ourselves as an extension of our clients’ business operations. We take a proactive approach: we identify opportunities and potential issues before our clients do. Organizationally, we are strengthening our team and expanding our services so that we can take our service delivery to the next level.
Through our consulting services, we continue to deepen our expertise. We are developing generic models for industrial flexibility, streamlining battery tooling, creating bankable business cases for solar, wind, batteries, and hydrogen, and providing clients with greater insight into PPA and sourcing strategies. We are also playing a more active role in negotiating and analyzing CSC and CBC contracts, thereby actively contributing to the resolution of congestion.
In short: by 2026, we will be helping customers get even more out of their renewable energy.
