For free market bids via redispatch, GOPACS uses orders on the existing energy market platforms ETPA and EPEX Spot. Participating parties trade electricity by placing buy orders and sell orders on a trading platform. Bids can be transacted across trading platforms. We call this Cross-Platform activation.
If congestion is expected, GOPACS calculates at lightning speed whether orders meet the following conditions: 1. Does the order include location information 2. Does it solve the congestion situation 3. Does not cause new congestion at another location in the power grid
The price difference (the spread) between the buy order and a sell order is paid by the grid operators. This creates a match between the orders on the market platform and thus solves the congestion situation.
You can reach us via the contact form on the contact page. Are you a wholesale customer or from a market party? Then you can also call your relationship manager at your own network operator.
Unfortunately, we cannot be reached by phone. It is best to use the contact form for your questions. Because GOPACS is a partnership of the grid operators, this is the fastest way to make sure your question gets to the right person. However, you can call the relationship manager of your network operator. Here you can also ask questions about GOPACS, congestion management in general and flexible contracts.
Large consumers who place flex bids in the congestion portal find their bills there. Organizations that place orders through a trading platform find their invoices there.
