Aggregators

An aggregator collects flexibility from companies or households and offers it collectively to a grid operator or supplier on behalf of these parties for a fee. With the flexible power collected by the aggregator, the grid operator can reduce peaks in the power grid and prevent power outages.

These peaks are increasing as more and more energy is generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar. The aggregator thus plays an important role in resolving congestion in the electricity grid. Since the new June 2022 Grid Code, aggregators must be licensed CSP to submit flex bids through GOPACS.
