Finding a competitive edge
As a major player in Sweden’s energy sector, Skellefteå Kraft is committed to producing, distributing, and selling 100% renewable energy. Their Strategy & Development unit is tasked with driving innovation, from market analysis to new business development. However, before collaborating with Emulate, Skellefteå Kraft faced a significant challenge: they lacked the tools to connect customers’ devices and to aggregate and control these resources across flexibility markets.
By participating in ‘Watt an Idea,’ a program connecting start-ups with energy industry leaders, Skellefteå Kraft was introduced to Emulate, whose platform quickly showed potential for addressing this gap and turning it into a competitive edge. Today, Skellefteå Kraft sees flexibility as key to attracting customers and pioneering innovative products.
“Emulate’s platform offers us a strategic fit, providing flexibility and control that strengthens our position in the renewable energy market”

New revenue meets renewable integration
With Emulate’s technology, Skellefteå Kraft can now aggregate and control resources, from EV chargers and solar panels to large batteries. This partnership has unlocked spot price optimization and new revenue streams, like trading ancillary services, while supporting the integration of renewables into the energy grid.
Emulate’s role aligns well with Skellefteå Kraft’s vision of being a Balance Service Provider and Balance Responsible Party, providing the tools needed for trading in balance and flexibility markets. This alignment not only strengthens their market position but also signals to customers that Skellefteå Kraft is at the forefront of energy innovation and sustainability.
Powering future flexibility
With Emulate, Skellefteå Kraft has laid the groundwork for future growth in the flexibility market. As renewable energy grows and flexible units become more central to energy trading, this collaboration will continue to deliver impactful, sustainable solutions.
