Today, the Volkswagen Group and its Elli brand became the first automotive company to start trading on the German power market of Europe’s largest power exchange, EPEX Spot. The basis for electricity trading is a stationary storage system consisting of e-up! batteries and a new, digital electricity trading platform from Elli. The stationary storage system – known as the “PowerCenter” – will store energy traded on the electricity market in the future. The pilot project is being jointly driven by Elli and Volkswagen After Sales and is a first step on the way to the planned Smart Energy platform. In the future, Volkswagen and Elli want to anchor the growing storage capacities of e-cars and batteries in the energy system and thus contribute to the energy transition.
