After engineering, permitting, development, financing, installation and commissioning, what follows is equally demanding, and equally decisive: active steering, at every moment of the day. ## Grid tariffs are up 39%. Negative price hours hit 518 in Belgium. The revenue stack is shifting. Grid tariffs are rising. In Flanders, distribution network tariffs for medium-voltage users increased by an average of 39% in 2025 (source: VREG, December 2024). With over 518 hours of negative electricity prices recorded in Belgium in 2025 (source: Gridio), new opportunities are emerging for companies that load, dispatch and steer at the right moment. The value lies in the combination of day-ahead optimisation, peak shaving and maximum self-consumption, and that combination requires continuous, active steering based on real-time market signals. Belgium is not an outlier. The same dynamics, rising network costs, growing renewable surpluses and structural price volatility, are reshaping energy markets across Europe. The [IEA's Electricity 2026 report](https://www.iea.org/reports/electricity-2026) projects continued growth in renewables alongside rising volatility, reinforcing the case for active steering. ## PerPetum builds and operates. Companion Energy optimises. Together, we steer. As Mathieu Tahon, Chief Investment Officer at PerPetum, puts it: > _"We've moved beyond renewables as a commodity. It's no longer just about the PPA. It's about creating value through flexibility, steering and adaptability."_ PerPetum brings the engineering, project execution and long-term operational knowledge. We develop, build and operate large-scale on-site energy systems, from permitting and financing to daily optimisation, so our clients can systematically lower their total cost of energy. Companion Energy brings the software intelligence: an optimisation platform that combines production and consumption data with real-time market signals and continuously takes the best dispatch decisions across all available value streams. Together, we actively steer a portfolio of over 200 MWp in Belgium and are expanding across the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, with one shared objective: to systematically lower energy costs and strengthen the competitiveness of our clients. ## Cut costs, valorise surpluses, reduce grid exposure and see every euro of value in real time. - Cut your total energy cost through day-ahead optimisation, peak shaving and maximum self-consumption. - Valorise electricity surpluses and reduce fossil thermal demand by converting electricity into heat via [e-boilers](/nl/solutions/power-to-heat "Power to Heat") or heat pumps, not only when prices are negative, but whenever electricity is cheaper than gas, or into [EV charging](/nl/solutions/ev-charging "EV Charging"), rather than injecting at a loss or continuing to rely on fossil fuels. - Reduce your carbon footprint by electrifying heat and mobility processes with on-site renewable generation, directly replacing fossil fuel consumption. - Reduce your exposure to [grid congestion](/nl/resources/grid-congestion-is-becoming-a-structural-reality-for-energy-intensive-sites "Grid Congestion") by actively managing flexible loads within your connection capacity. - See exactly how value is created, in real time, through a transparent and intuitive dashboard. All of this without upfront investment, structured as a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) or Energy-as-a-Service. The market will keep evolving. This partnership guarantees our clients that their assets deliver maximum value, today and across a 20-year horizon. > _"We've moved beyond renewables as a commodity.
