The PNE Group's Wattmate digital platform, launched to enhance its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)-as-a-Service business, demonstrated significant traction in 2025 by supporting the marketing of 80 wind, photovoltaic, and battery storage projects with a combined capacity of approximately 1.1 gigawatts. This performance underscores a broader industry shift where the marketing of renewable power is growing more complex and critical to a project's economic success. Nils Kompe, Head of Power Origination & Green Markets at PNE, emphasized that marketing potential is increasingly determining project viability, moving beyond standard assumptions.
"In future, project-specific, market-oriented and cross-technology marketing approaches will be in demand," Kompe stated. The Wattmate platform addresses this by holistically combining market transparency, structuring expertise, and operational experience to bridge project development, financing, and marketing. A key emerging trend is the integration of "Co‑Location Battery Storage Systems," where storage units are sited alongside renewable generation plants, sharing a grid connection. This approach, now discussed for both photovoltaic and wind projects, enables more stable revenue profiles and unlocks new marketing options by intelligently combining generation with flexibility.
The platform is designed to capitalize on such developments, tapping into additional marketing potential not only through medium and long-term PPAs but also via project-specific, value-maximizing marketing forms and the combination of different generator types. The success in 2025 positions PNE to explore new revenue potential for 2026, as the platform aligns with market demands for sophisticated, integrated energy solutions.
