Balancing group management for biomethane

Reliably manage energy trading with agriportance

Feeding biomethane into the German natural gas grid opens up valuable potential for a sustainable energy future. However, to ensure that your quantities are correctly recorded in the balance sheet and marketed in an economically optimal way, more than just the physical feed-in is required: professional balancing group management is needed.
Balancing group management is mandatory for the utilisation of the natural gas grid

agriportance takes care of the complete operational processing for you - from registration and injection to invoicing. As an experienced team of biomethane specialists, we ensure the reliable processing and precise management of your gas volumes in the Trading Hub Europe (THE) market area - from registration to invoicing. Legally compliant, efficient and customised to your requirements.

What is balancing group management - and why is it essential?

A Balancing group is an accounting account that maps all gas flows of a market participant in the German gas market. The aim is to balance feed-in and withdrawal at all times.
With market liberalisation, the separation between network operator (for physical transport) and supplier (for economic supply) was introduced - making balancing group management mandatory for the use of the natural gas network.

Professional balancing group management ensures that:

legal requirements (e.g. Geli-Gas, GaBi 2.0, EDIFACT) are correctly fulfilled,
balancing energy costs and flexibility fees can be minimised,
your biomethane quantities can be balanced reliably and on time.
