As a business, you sometimes have to wait a long time for a new or upgraded connection. That’s why grid operators are working hard on expansion and looking for extra room on the grid. That room lies in flexible power use.
Being flexible means scheduling your business processes differently at times. If that’s possible for your company, you’ll be rewarded for it.
Switching to flexible power use can be challenging. GOPACS helps. We connect you with the right person, provide insight with congestion data, and make sure your flexible capacity is deployed effectively.

Using electricity flexibly may require adjustments to your processes. That isn’t easy for every entrepreneur. Here’s how grid operators aim to make it attractive nonetheless:
Flexibility creates space on the grid. This can allow you to do more with your current connection, or get a (temporary) larger connection sooner.
Grid congestion creates uncertainty. By participating in congestion management now, you help define the terms and stay in control.
Smart management of your electricity usage brings financial benefits. Think of compensation for flexibility or lower costs during negative or peak prices.
