01Register Your Capacity for Flex - Directly from Wattoshi
Wattoshi users can now register for the flexibility market directly from the app.
This gives you a new source of income on top of normal load management - with payouts of up to10x the spot pricefor the capacity you make available.
02What Is Flex?
Flexibility means being able toturn electrical loads up or down when the power grid needs it.
Grid companies pay for this service because it is significantly cheaper than building more grid infrastructure.
For users controlling:
- Bitcoin miners
- EV chargers
- Water heaters
- Other high-consumption electrical loads
through Wattoshi, this unlocks a revenue stream that has until now been unavailable -without changing how you normally use electricity.
032026 Is the Year Flex Expands
Until now, Flex contracts have mainly been limited to thewinter season (October-March).
In2026, Norwegian grid companies are for the first time rolling out:
- Summer contracts
- Winter contracts
- Expanded geographic coverage
First movers on summer contracts:
- Glitre
- Linja
Other grid companies making strong progress:
- Fagne
- Tensio
We are still waiting forElvia, the country’s largest grid company, which so far has been most active on winter contracts.
The full potential will be realized as more companies and more seasons come online.
That is exactly why registration should happen now.
04Summer and Winter - Two Different Flex Products
Flex is all about helping the grid stay balanced.
What the grid needs changes with the season - and so does how you get paid.
Winter Flex = Regulate Down
During cold periods, grid capacity is often under pressure.
You get paid to:
- switch off, or
- reduce your load
during the most constrained hours, typically:
- 07:00-09:00
- 15:00-17:00
Summer Flex = Regulate Up
In summer, the challenge is often the opposite:
there istoo much power in the grid, especially in areas with heavy solar production.
You get paid to:
- switch on, or
- increase your load
when the grid needs someone to consume electricity.
In Practice
You can earn money by:
- using less in winter
- using more in summer
For miners, EV chargers, and water heaters, both products are highly relevant.
And once your agreement is active,Wattoshi handles the regulation automatically.
