VERBUND Energy4Business GmbH's Dott Speaks on Accelerating Energy Transition and Optimizing Renewables Integration for Customers Amid Climate Challenges

Harald Dott, an employee at VERBUND Energy4Business, addresses the audience about the significant impacts of climate change and energy crises faced in recent years. He emphasizes that while energy prices are stabilizing after a tumultuous period in 2022-2023, there remains a crucial need for rapid progress in the energy transition. VERBUND Energy4Business GmbH's mission is to contribute significantly to this transition as Austria’s largest green electricity producer. The company generates almost 30 terawatt hours of hydroelectricity annually through its 130 hydropower plants with over 8000 megawatts capacity. VERBUND Energy4Business aims to expand renewable energies within Europe and play a vital role in developing European Hydrogen Corridors by producing and managing green hydrogen logistics. Additionally, they focus on strengthening their core business by partnering with industrial players for flexibility provision. Dott details how VERBUND Energy4Business optimizes not only its assets but also those of third parties across short-term energy markets using sophisticated trading algorithms and automation systems. This optimization helps clients minimize consumption costs or generate additional income by adjusting usage according to current market conditions via state-of-the-art web service portals designed for seamless communication between customers' production forecasts and market requirements.

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
