Reliable congestion data is essential for making smart use of flexible capacity. That’s why GOPACS provides a clear overview of current and historical redispatch transactions, including prices and volumes.
This way, you can see not only which bids have been activated, but also in which areas flexible capacity was requested and how much was needed. This insight helps Congestion Service Providers and large consumers shape their strategy, identify opportunities, and optimally position their flexibility in the market.
Transparency makes flexible trading both clearer and more profitable.
An overview of all market announcements issued, with insight into the moments when redispatch was requested.
Insight into the compensations paid for activated bids, broken down by orders and periods.
An overview of the amount of flexible capacity deployed through redispatch, shown in megawatt hours.
Summary figures of all transactions, including numbers, volumes, and amounts, providing a complete picture of the redispatch market.
The national capacity map provides everyone with an indicative overview of the current congestion situation, queues, and planned grid expansions at both high- and medium-voltage levels for consumption and feed-in.
Energieleveren.nl is the central official registration portal where consumers and businesses must register their solar panels or other energy generation installations with their grid operator to safely and correctly feed electricity back into the grid.
Whether you’re a large customer or a CSP, data-driven decision-making is important for everyone. That’s why we’re continuously working on expanding access to our congestion data. Do you have questions about our figures, or suggestions for additional data?

No. Due to privacy reasons, this is not possible. On our website, we only publish information that complies with the legal transparency requirements set out in the Grid Code (Netcode) and ENTSO-E regulations.
Grid operators are increasingly able to estimate where and when the electricity grid may come under pressure, based on real-time grid data and forecasts. However, a congestion situation cannot always be predicted down to the exact quarter hour. It depends on factors such as electricity production, consumption, and weather conditions.
When grid operators expect congestion, they deploy flexibility in a targeted way. This can be done in several ways:
In short, grid operators can often identify the main risk areas and moments, but they combine real-time insights with different instruments — such as redispatch and CLCs — to activate flexibility at the right place and time.
Flexible capacity that you offer through GOPACS can often also be used in other energy markets, such as FCR, aFRR, or the imbalance market.
Good coordination is essential:
This helps prevent double use of capacity or conflicting activations.
This depends on the flexibility product you choose. When participating through redispatch, you receive compensation based on market prices for the flexibility you provide. With contract types such as a Capacity Limiting Contract (CLC) or a Mandatory Bidding Contract, fixed availability payments or control payments may also apply. The exact compensation structure depends on the grid operator and the specific contract.
