LAYR for utilities

The BESS market requires maximum optionality through tailored solutions. Our LAYR platform supports utilities in offering products and solutions that match the needs of their customers. LAYR allows for fast time to market and seamless integration into trading and portfolio management systems.

One platform — scalable flexibility

LAYR onboards and manages BESS assets from your and your customers' portfolios. Once onboarded to the LAYR API, your trading team seamlessly scales from the first Megawatt of flex capacity up to many Gigawatts. This saves overhead cost for asset onboarding and allows for a seamless portfolio integration and orchestration across BESS systems.

Background Quotes

“Thanks to its decentralised nature, terralayr’s battery storage network can be seamlessly integrated into our automated trading processes. This allows us to reduce the costs associated with imbalances in our portfolio and to provide flexibility whenever it brings the greatest benefit.”

Honey Duan, then Director Commodity Origination, Vattenfall

Virtual battery instead of single-asset tolling

Unlike conventional tolling structures that tie you to a single physical unit, LAYR allows for virtual tolling of BESS capacity. This innovative approach aggregates multiple storage systems or slices large stand-alone BESS assets, providing tolling off-takers with seamless access to an exact MW-amount of capacity via one unified virtual battery.

The option value of virtualisation

Virtualisation on LAYR drives strategic optionality, transforming physical capacity into liquid digital assets. Beyond mere availability, you can dynamically reallocate capacity between offtakers, access performance benchmarks, and hedge trading risks. Seamlessly sell capacity to other traders at superior value, leveraging the flexibility of software to maximise market manoeuvrability.
