CSP - Congestion Service Provider

Since the new June 2022 Grid Code is in effect, only licensed Congestion Service Providers (CSP) can still submit bids through GOPACS. A CSP's main task is to handle local power surpluses and shortages when a grid operator expects congestion somewhere in the power grid. Demand then exceeds grid capacity. This absorption of shortages or surpluses can be done in a variety of ways, such as turning wind turbines or solar panels on or off, temporarily reducing electricity demand somewhere, or using a battery in which electricity is temporarily stored.

Would you like to participate in GOPACS? Then first register as or through a CSP.
