TEPCO Visit: Solving grid congestion is a global team sport
Reflecting on an inspiring visit: Last Monday, we had the privilege of hosting a distinguished delegation from TEPCO - Tokyo Electric Power Company at GOPACS!
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.
Can you help create extra capacity on the electricity grid? Then you’ll make an important contribution to the electrification and greening of the Netherlands.
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.
Smart management of your electricity usage brings financial benefits. Think of compensation for flexibility or lower costs during negative or peak prices.
Grid congestion creates uncertainty. By participating in congestion management now, you help define the terms and stay in control.
Can your production or consumption sites temporarily adjust? Then GOPACS gives you access to a market where flexibility is rewarded. We help you take the first steps, ensure your site is correctly registered, and point you to a suitable service provider. This way, you get more out of your connection and contribute to the grid.
As a CSP, you play a key role in making flexible capacity available. GOPACS supports you through the onboarding process, helps with asset registration and linking, and provides insight into congestion areas and market data. This enables you to serve your customers better and actively contribute to a future-proof energy system.
Whether you’re a producer or a consumer, we’re happy to think along with you. We’ll support you in taking the first steps, help you quickly connect with the right contacts, and guide you through the rules and opportunities of flexible capacity.
Fill out the form on the right, and our case manager will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
