Without balancing: Smart savings with a dynamic energy contract

Why solar panel owners should consider a dynamic energy contract after the abolition of the balancing scheme

The abolition of the net-metering scheme in early 2027 represents a big change for households with solar panels. It will make it less financially attractive to feed your solar energy back to the grid. You already get a low feed-in compensation, currently €0.182 to €0.020 per kWh, but if you subtract the feed-in costs from that, it is no longer profitable at all and may even cost you money. This means it is much more advantageous to use your generated electricity immediately yourself instead of feeding it back.

Attractive alternative

But this change also offers opportunities – especially for those who cleverly capitalise on market developments. Many people immediately think of a home battery, but for many that is still an expensive investment. The dynamic contract can offer an attractive alternative with which you can still benefit.

Instead of a fixed or variable tariff, you then pay and receive electricity prices that change every hour. Those prices are determined on the EPEX spot market and can fluctuate a lot based on supply and demand. On sunny afternoons, they are often low or even negative. In the evening, they sometimes actually peak.

The fact that more and more solar panel owners are looking into this is also shown by research conducted by Panel Inzicht on behalf of Energie VanOns: half of the solar panel owners are considering a dynamic energy contract as soon as net-metering stops(bron).

Tijd voor een Energie Management Systeem

Maar wie heeft er nu tijd of zin om elk uur je energieverbruik en de stroomprijzen in de gaten te houden wanneer het beste moment is om de wasmachine aan te zetten of de auto aan de lader te hangen? Precies. En dat is waarom een Energie Management Systeem, oftewel EMS, het verschil maakt.

Het Enny energie management systeem van Xemex is zo’n slimme toevoeging en doet namelijk het denkwerk voor je. Het houdt precies bij wanneer je zonnepanelen stroom leveren, wanneer de stroomtarieven het gunstigst zijn en op welk moment jouw apparaten het meest efficiënt kunnen draaien. Zo benut je je eigen stroom maximaal en behaal je zonder moeite nog steeds mooie financiële voordelen.

Smart combination EMS and dynamic contract

At a time when the energy market is becoming more volatile and balancing is a thing of the past, this smart combination of dynamic contract and the Xemex energy management system gives you the flexibility and benefits you need. And the great thing is: it just works, without you having to deal with it every day.
