Turning Renewable Overcapacity Into a Revenue Decision
A European clean energy operator deployed Scalytics Helios across its wind and solar portfolio to decide, in real time, where surplus power should go: to the grid when prices are good, or into hydrogen production when overcapacity would otherwise force curtailment or a negative-price sale. Helios recommends the best move for each window; it does not switch assets directly. It runs on Lascaris, the sovereign platform that connects the operator's systems, holds the live model of the estate, and records every decision with its provenance, so any recommendation can be traced back to the grid signal that drove it. The system deploys on-premise on open standards, and the operator owns the project code. Context: renewable curtailment and negative wholesale prices are rising across Europe, reaching 8 to 9 percent of hours in Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain in early 2025 (IEA).
