The most important trading decision of the day happens before the electricity price is set. At 9:00 AM, the aFRR capacity auction closes. The day-ahead curve doesn't publish until the afternoon. So before there's a day-ahead price to optimize against, Cosmos has to decide how much of the battery to commit to balancing capacity and how much to hold back for arbitrage ⚡ That split is the whole game. Most days, committed aFRR capacity can out-earn a day-ahead cycle. Commit too little and you miss the stronger market. Commit too much and you lose trading flexibility. That crucial decision rests largely on forecast quality 📈 A mistimed charge cycle costs a few euros. A bad allocation call costs multiples, every day, across 24-hour blocks, for the life of the asset. #Ampowr #Cosmos #EMS #EnergyTrading #BESS #PoweredByReliability
