eTools Load Profiles

Frequently asked questions

  Understanding & use cases

  • Load Profiles determines the realistic market cost of a customer’s energy consumption or generation profile.

    It uses the most recent market data and forecasts, considering key risk factors such as balancing-energy costs, volume deviations and price fluctuations.

    Based on this analysis, the tool projects future costs and quantifies the risk exposure of each individual contract - with 1/4-hourly accuracy.

  • Internal tools and Excels work only as long as their creator is around. When the author takes a leave, they break.

    Load Profiles is a professionally developed and continuously maintained SaaS solution. It comes with automatic data updates, security maintenance, regular feature upgrades and technical support. You get one reliable platform instead of scattered files, manual recalculations and outdated logic.

  • Load Profiles focuses solely on energy load-profile evaluation and pricing.

    It doesn’t try to manage every step of your sales process.

    Instead, it goes deeper into what defines profitability in energy supply: precise modeling of consumption, prices and risks.

  • Internal sales teams, back-office staff and portfolio managers - anyone responsible for preparing or reviewing customer pricing offers.
  • Yes.

    Unlike many tools that only handle electricity, Load Profiles also models natural gas, capturing its unique challenges - temperature-driven demand, storage effects and price sensitivity.

  • Yes.

    You can model customers with several sites or on-site generation such as PV systems. The tool automatically includes local consumption and generation patterns.

  How it works

  • You simply upload a demand or generation profile. Or, for standardized profiles (SLP types), just provide the profile category and yearly consumption.

    For PV systems, enter the location and size. Load Profiles then generates the production curve using historical weather data.

  • The system analyzes historical time-series data to detect daily, weekly and seasonal patterns.

    It adjusts these statistically for upcoming years, taking into account holidays, trends and market expectations.

    For PV generation, typical norm profiles are modeled specifically for your configuration.

  • The HPFCs are updated daily using the latest market data.

    If required, you can activate a live HPFC with intraday recalculation.
