terralayr is a provider of flexibility services that provides the flexibility services required for the energy transition. They bundle and virtualize battery energy storage capacities (BESS) from their own and external BESS portfolios in a unique flexibility platform. Through this platform, customers - such as electricity traders, industrial companies, data centers and utilities - can seamlessly access and trade energy flexibility, including physical delivery to their balancing group, without having to own, operate and finance a BESS facility. Our offering ranges from 15-minute contracts to long-term agreements of more than 10 years, allowing asset owners to customize their revenue profile according to their risk appetite.
