Flexa

We are looking for a highly ambitious A+ player to spearhead our business development efforts accelerating the growth and roll-out of Flexa's advanced virtual power plant. Comment, if you are someone you know could be interested. Previous experience in a high-paced, result-driven environment is a must (e.g., MBB, top-tier startup, etc.). The role will offer unrivaled growth opportunites as Flexa is growing 30-fold this year - backed by our partners Enpal and Entrix - becoming the biggest residential virtual power plant in Germany less than two years after starting. We will offer a highly attractive compensation package, and the opportunity to work with and learn from top leaders with experience at Tesla, Apple, McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Picus Capital among others.

🌍 47% of Europe’s Electricity Now Comes from Renewable Sources! 🌞🌬️ The European Union reached an impressive milestone in 2024: 47% of its electricity was generated from solar, wind, and other renewable sources. However, as the share of renewables grows, so does the need for innovative solutions to address intermittency and ensure grid stability. This is where battery energy storages come in. While a lot is currently talked about grid scale BESS. Did you know that in Germany more than 1.5 million batteries have been installed in households - representing 13 GWh of storage. Yet, compared to grid-scale BESS the vast majority of these are „just lying around“ - not being used in any meaningful to stabilize our grids. This where players like Flexa (together with Enpal), gridX or sonnen GmbH come in - utilizing these batteries in virtual power plants to (1) generate more income for their owners and (2) stabilize the grid.

💡 Studie: Direktvermarktung entlastet Netze und Bundeshaushalt Mit unserem AI Energy Trader 🚀 Enpal.One ermöglichen wir es privaten Haushalten, ihren selbst erzeugten Strom mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz vollautomatisiert und bequem an der Strombörse zu handeln. Aber: Welche Auswirkungen hat diese „Direktvermarktung“ auf die Netze und den Bundeshaushalt? Das wollten wir ganz genau wissen. Deshalb haben wir das renommierte Analyseinstitut Energy Brainpool GmbH & Co. KG gebeten, die herkömmliche feste Einspeisevergütung mit der Direktvermarktung zu vergleichen – und dabei insbesondere den Effekt für die Verteilnetze und für den Bundeshaushalt unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Die Ergebnisse sind eindeutig: ⚡️ netzdienlich Die Direktvermarktung ist netzdienlicher als die Einspeisevergütung. Denn: In der Direktvermarktung entsteht ab einem bestimmten Strompreisniveau ein Anreiz, die Einspeisung zu pausieren, in der Batterie zwischenzuspeichern und erst später ins Netz einzuspeisen. Zum Beispiel in den erzeugungsärmeren Abendstunden. ✅ spart Steuergelder Die Verschiebung der Einspeisung dank Direktvermarktung spart in nur drei Jahren 130 Mio. Euro an Steuergeldern ein. 🚧 Hürden - Was jetzt passieren muss Die Energienovelle, die aktuell im Bundestag diskutiert wird, könnte viele bürokratische Barrieren beseitigen. In der heutigen Sachverständigen-Anhörung waren sich alle Experten einig (einschließlich u.a. BSW – Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V., Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energie e.V. (BEE), BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V., TenneT, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, Lion Hirth, Bayernwerk, BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V.): Das Gesetz muss noch vor der Wahl beschlossen werden! 📖 Zur vollständigen Studie: https://lnkd.in/dyKMq2Td 📰 Mehr in DER SPIEGEL von Markus Becker & Benedikt Müller-Arnold (€): https://lnkd.in/dHDya67R Our dream: zero carbon emissions. zero energy bills. 🌎⚡
