A battery as a flexible asset in greenhouse horticulture

Structurally faster and higher yields

A battery that is not actively controlled is not an asset. It is a dormant cost.

Most BESS systems run on fixed schedules or simple day-ahead and imbalance logic. That was sufficient when energy margins were predictable.

In a market defined by negative prices, intraday volatility and increasing congestion, that approach leaves money on the table, structurally, every day, every cycle.

4 ways, 4x higher returns

A battery fulfils four economic functions simultaneously:

  1. Cost reduction through peak shaving and smart charging times
  2. Revenue generation through market participation in aFRR and intraday markets
  3. Grid value through active congestion management
  4. Retain self-generated electricity and supply it when the market price is most favourable (Deferred supply)

Most battery installations utilise a single energy market. Enova utilises multiple markets simultaneously, in real time and at scale. And when the market behaves differently to what the algorithm expects, an Enova energy manager intervenes immediately. So no black box, but human market expertise as a safety net and accelerator. This is how we realise the ROI of your battery three times faster than a standard aggregator.

Energy is not a cost item in Greenhouse Horticulture. It is a production factor

Greenhouse lighting, climate control, cooling, heating, CO₂ demand, and CHP systems make energy an integral part of your operation. At the same time, the sector is facing mounting pressure: rising energy prices, increasingly complex energy taxation, grid congestion, CO₂ obligations, and growing sustainability ambitions.

Enova is the operational and strategic partner in Greenhouse Horticulture that makes the difference from achieving the lowest possible energy costs per square metre within the limits of your cultivation and installations, to making the strategic decisions that prepare your business for the future. Whether you operate in horticulture, arable farming, livestock farming, or food processing.

We think alongside you.
And we deliver.

How we use a battery
