We provide you with a biomethane balancing group and take care of balancing group management.
What matters
The balancing group is where mistakes cost money.

- Starting point: Format requirements and deadlines set by the market area managers leave no room for error.The bikosigma answer: Operation of the balancing group as a service provider with full process handover; compliant in form and on time.
- Starting point: Faulty nominations and unobserved deviations lead to balancing energy charges and back claims.The bikosigma answer: Pooling within our balancing group cooperation smooths deviations and reduces balancing energy risk.
- Starting point: Balancing group management for biomethane demands accuracy and quality. In portfolios with many injection and withdrawal points in particular, this quickly reaches its limits.The bikosigma answer: Active management for maximum data quality and minimal deviations and back charges.
- Starting point: A balancing group manager who trades biomethane sees every one of your volume movements.The bikosigma answer: We do not manage a portfolio of our own. Your data is operating data with us, not market intelligence.
