PVTIME – On 3 September 2026, D.TRADING, the energy-trading arm of Ukraine’s DTEK Group, and Capalo AI, a Finnish storage-optimisation specialist, announced their European-focused cooperation.
Under this joint offering, D.TRADING will act as the contractual counterparty, delivering guaranteed revenue offtake alongside credit support. Capalo AI deploys AI-driven, multi-market trading algorithms via its Zeus VPP virtual power plant platform across day-ahead, intraday, and ancillary service markets.
Project owners enter a single contract with D.TRADING to access the capabilities of both firms. This bankable revenue solution addresses the well-documented risk of revenue uncertainty for European battery energy storage developers. It caters for both standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) and hybrid renewable assets, supporting merchant, floor-and-upside-share, and tolling commercial structures.
