At terralayr, our mission is to make flexible energy available on demand. We deliver this through LAYR, our end-to-end flexibility platform. With LAYR, we enable asset owners, utilities, and power traders to maximise value from utility-scale BESS assets through advanced flexibility solutions, all on one platform.
LAYR virtualises physical BESS assets to provide a tailored route-to-market solution for asset owners. The unique multi-optimiser model of LAYR provides a superior solution for merchant optimisation by eliminating binary trading risk and ensuring real-time performance transparency. Tailored offtake structures, including Tolling- and Merchant-combinations, are enabled through flexible slicing of physical capacity. Offtakers gain access to capacity via one unified API and an infrastructure built to scale from Megawatt to Gigawatt.

seeking a superior Route-to-Market solution
LAYR bridges the gap between flexible energy demand and supply. We empower asset owners to monetise their capacity through our platform, securing offtake at premium rates from top-tier trading desks. LAYR is your one-stop-shop solution for the end-to-end commercialisation of your BESS asset.
For power traders, we provide seamless access to reliable flexible power on demand. Book storage capacity when needed and access it via one simple API. With our real-time visualisation and automated redundancy, your supply remains stable, also under volatility.
Our “Enhanced Trading of Flexibility” (ETF) model enables multiple top-tier optimisers to trade the same battery in parallel. Asset owners benefit from maximum performance transparency and actionable insights. LAYR allows for flexible allocation of capacity between optimisers with a single click, diversifying trading strategies and merchant performance risk. No lock-in. No switching cost. Full control.
In order to maximise BESS value, LAYR onboards every asset to its turnkey dispatch infrastructure. This includes dispatch control, pre-qualification for Ancillary Services (incl. FCR and aFRR), performance of regular reporting and market communication duties, as well as state-of-the-art dashboards and controlling tools for asset managers.
LAYR translates your BESS asset into a digital twin: We call it a Virtual Battery. Virtual Batteries bridge the gap between physical capacity and digital agility by seamlessly slicing or aggregating assets to fit your individual revenue strategy.
Each trader and offtaker gets access to flexible capacity via an individual Virtual Battery. LAYR handles all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, offering offtakers’ superior reliability without the operational headaches of physical infrastructure.
Buy flexibility when you need it. On LAYR, storage capacity is regularly auctioned via Virtual Battery Auctions (VBA). Power traders can rent capacity in MW slices for a day, a week or longer at a fixed price and use it for their proprietary trading across Day Ahead, Intraday Continuous, FCR and aFRR markets, capturing market opportunities without owning or operating the asset themselves. This creates a hedge against volatility while improving capital efficiency and operational flexibility.
