Since this Summer Sympower is offering fast frequency reserve (FFR) to Svenska Kraftnat, the Swedish grid operator. These services help  to relieve the strain on the Swedish grid caused by the rise of variable renewable energy production, the decommissioning of nuclear capacity and the increasing electricity demand.

Techleap.nl selects Hardt Hyperloop, hello energy & Sympower as part of 11 high potential scaleups to flatten the climate curve.

Sympower founder and CEO Simon Bushell is often approached  as though leader on grid flexibility and demand response. Some example in the last few weeks:

• Coverage of grid flexibility on the Climate Adaptation channel by Cimpatico Studios
• The inspiring story of Sympower in this episode of "Leaders in Cleantech" with David Hunt. 
• Opinion piece on demand response in The Energy Industry Times

Sympower is working with leading European energy utility Vattenfall to help increase the amount of flexibility in Sweden’s energy market. The companies are working together to control approximately 60MW worth of assets of the country’s new fast frequency reserves (FFR), which has a total capacity of just under 70MW. The launch of FFR in the Nordics will enable more renewables to enter the market and help drive the energy transition.

Sympower and Dutch grid operator TenneT will examine the possibilities of using distributed electrical assets to help balance the grid in a sustainable way. The pilot will start in January 2019 and will run for a period of two years during which a number of Sympower’s partners will provide flexibility through their controllable energy loads to one of TenneT's balancing markets, called 'automated Frequency Restoration Reserves’ (aFRR or ‘control power’). 
At the moment, aFRR is mainly provided by conventional power plants, but the future of the energy landscape is changing and new solutions are needed.
