About us

Who we are.

Gesto Comercialização de Energia is the Gesto Group company specialised in representing power plants in the market and participating in system services. We manage and optimise renewable generation assets and battery energy storage systems (BESS) through innovative technology platforms and solutions based on agentic artificial intelligence.

With more than 20 years of experience in energy consulting and the development of renewable energy projects, we know every plant across all phases of its life cycle — from design and development to operation and participation in the energy and system-services markets.

A market in transformation

Why a specialist aggregator matters.

The Portuguese and Iberian power system is going through a period of growing complexity — marked by high renewable penetration, intraday price volatility and the progressive opening of reserve and balancing markets to renewable producers.

Since the roll-out of the MARI platform, this also includes small production units (UPPs) aggregated into Physical Aggregation Units (UFAs).

In this context, the specialist aggregator plays a central role in the economic optimisation of solar production — including assets that large portfolio managers do not find worthwhile to serve.

Segments

From small UPACs to large power plants.

Whatever the size of the asset, we offer a tailored solution to maximise its market value, backed by proprietary technology and deep knowledge of the power system.

🌱 Self-consumption

UPAC

Up to 1 MWp.

Simplified energy sales for small producers, with transparent remuneration, representation before REN and ERSE and direct access to market value.

For Residential, commercial, collective self-consumption and small installations.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does it work for plants > 1 MW?
For industrial plants (solar, wind, BESS), we take over day-ahead and intraday scheduling in MIBEL, imbalance management and participation in system-services markets (mFRR, aFRR, FCR). Production profile and hedging strategy designed case by case, with a dedicated account manager and continuous AI optimisation.
How does invoicing work?
For plants and UPPs, invoicing is monthly and adjusted to the traded volume.
How long does onboarding take?
Plants > 1 MW: typically 4 to 12 weeks, depending on technical complexity and existing licensing. We handle all the paperwork.
Why is Gesto Power different?
We do not buy your energy at a fixed price below market potential — we represent it in the market, with pass-through remuneration and a transparent service fee. We are one of four independent system-services aggregators in Portugal, with 24/7 operation and optimisation. Those who invest should benefit from market opportunities.
