Congestion Management

With congestion management, grid operators allocate limited space on the electricity grid. This happens at times when the demand for transmission of electricity is higher than the grid can handle. Is this question at any given time too big? Then, through GOPACS, grid operators ask wholesale customers if they can temporarily use or generate less electricity for a market-based fee. The space thus freed up is distributed to other users of the power grid. This creates more space on the power grid and at the same time the customer receives compensation for the capacity he did not need anyway. A nice win-win situation.

Since the new Grid Code is in effect (June 2022), only licensed Congestion Service Providers (CSP) can still submit bids through GOPACS. Submit flex bids through GOPACS and are not or do not yet have a CSP? Then register as or through a CSP.
