Oldenburg, September 16, 2026 – More than 70 employees, a route of nearly 80 kilometers, and plenty of tailwind: Under the slogan “emsys cycles to Schillig,” we set off for the North Sea last Friday. The two-day company outing, with a total of about 140 participants, exemplified a corporate culture in which sustainability, physical activity, community, and work-life balance are firmly rooted.

This marks an important step toward bringing renewable energy into the aFRR market. For this project, we closely supported the prequalification process, including the selection of the wind farm and the provision of our system for the prequalification tests. We also provide the system for operational marketing, thereby paving the way for renewable energy to participate in the balancing power and day-ahead markets.

The solar eclipse on August 12 is not only a fascinating astronomical event – it also provides a remarkable real-world example of how closely weather, the atmosphere, and renewable energy are interconnected. However, the potential impact on wind energy is less obvious than that on solar energy.

More than 110 attendees from about 50 companies gathered under our roof to discuss and exchange ideas on various topics related to the Virtual Power Plant. Topics ranged from hybrid parks and balancing power to global market insights and power forecasts. 

Our colleagues Lars and Peter from the Forecasting Key Acoounting team were attending the ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group) Summer Workshops 2026 in Denver, Colorado, from June 15th-17th. At this year's event, they were sharing insights into two key topics that are shaping the future of renewable energy forecasting: AI-driven forecasting and situational awareness for solar power plants in high-risk areas.
