Trading is where things get really exciting – unlocking meaningful new value for you, and your base – dynamic or fixed. Podero enables utilities to trade flexibility for aggregated fleets across day-ahead and intraday.
Steering alone saves money for your dynamic tariff customers, and can support retention for ‘the few’. But trading is where things get really exciting – unlocking meaningful new value for you and your fixed tariff base. Podero enables utilities to trade flexibility for aggregated fleets across day-ahead, intraday, and balancing markets. Start with day ahead spot optimization, then stack up new trading integrations and associated revenue streams.
Every device Podero steers can generate day-ahead savings. Highly responsive assets unlock additional layers of continuous intraday trading revenue.
Each morning, Podero uses your existing price forecasts and device-specific demand forecasts to schedule load shifts across your fleet – minimizing purchasing costs and maximizing revenue.
Podero constantly monitors price and optimization opportunities on the continuous markets.
When spreads are favourable, the platform signals to buy low or dispatch high, automatically. Asset-backed, and within agreed operational limits.
Continuous and automated execution
Podero aggregates your full device fleet into a single tradeable position. Individual asset deviations are absorbed at fleet level: what reaches the market is a stable, reliable volume.
Podero runs three sequential phases every day, with just one daily operator confirmation required.
Price forecasts, user preferences and device specific data are ingested. Schedules for device fleets locked before DA market gates close.
Flexible assets are traded against real-time market spreads from gate opening at 15:00 D-1. Positions sized dynamically by confirmed fleet capacity.
Session summary computed: total trades, revenue, volume, and slippage. Fleet-level results pre-loaded to your trading dashboard.
Podero is designed to trade any asset that can reliably respond to dispatch signals. For intraday, batteries lead the way today, and the same platform will expand to EVs and other fast-response flexible assets as markets evolve.
Every trade is backed by real, confirmed device capacity. Podero never commits more than your fleet can physically deliver.
Trades happen within agreed limits. Customers see no change in comfort, availability, or warranty.
Different households, different consumption patterns. Device-level forecast errors cancel out at fleet level.
Every new asset adds to your tradeable capacity. Even a small fleet contributes when added to an existing algotrader portfolio.
Residential flexibility is largely untapped in European intraday markets. Early movers capture the premium before it closes, and can share the value with flex AND fixed households.
Commands dispatch via existing cloud integrations. No additional hardware or installation required.
Four factors drive the size of your intraday trading revenue. Podero optimizes across all of them continuously.
Two paths to execution.
Podero connects to your existing algotrading platform via API. Fully automated execution.
If you already operate an intraday trading system, Podero integrates directly via a custom API.

| Flexible assets already in Podero Steer | ✓ Already done | ✓ Already done |
| Trading API credentials | ✓ Provided by platform | Requires setup |
| Custom API development | Not needed | ✓ Required |

| Time to first trade | 1-2 weeks | 2-4 weeks |
We know that full, transparent oversight is key. Podero’s dashboard gives your team visibility into every trade, from fleet-level summaries down to individual position detail.
