Swiss control area · 15-minute forecast
Since 2026, the Swiss grid pays for balance. Orvio makes flexibility earn it.
Forecasts of system imbalance direction and imbalance energy price at 15-minute resolution – for utilities, battery operators, and trading desks.
Under the single-price regime since 2026, whoever supports the system gets paid – every quarter-hour. Whoever sees the direction coming gets more from the same flexibility.
How it works
From two forecasts to one move.
Every 15 minutes, Orvio's machine-learning models read the system and the portfolio, then show the move worth the most.
The portfolio
The load is covered, and the battery is free to dispatch.
Flexible 8 MW available
Deploy
The battery discharges into the short system and captures the price.
Recommended: discharge 8 MW
Flexibility moves into the windows where the system pays, before the gate closes.

Who it's for
One signal, every position the grid pays for.
Battery & storage operators
Orvio shows the quarter-hours where charging, discharging and curtailing earn the most – and measures what the dispatch delivered.
Utilities & grid operators
Utilities already own flexibility – hydro, controllable loads, PV curtailment. Orvio shows the position per quarter-hour and the windows where deploying it pays.
Energy traders
For a trading desk, the edge is information, not an asset: a validated directional view on Swiss system imbalance and the imbalance energy price, before the quarter-hour closes.
