TEPCO Visit: Solving grid congestion is a global team sport

3 April 2026
TEPCO leert van GOPACS

Reflecting on an inspiring visit: Last Monday, we had the privilege of hosting a distinguished delegation from TEPCO – Tokyo Electric Power Company at GOPACS!

​It is a significant milestone for us when a global energy leader serving 29 million customers looks to the Netherlands for best practices in congestion management.

The focus of our session was clear: how GOPACS uses automation and market-based solutions to unlock grid capacity and accelerate the energy transition.

​We took a deep dive into the “Dutch approach,” discussing TSO-DSO coordination and the mechanics of our redispatch algorithm. Comparing our regional challenges with the Japanese energy landscape provided invaluable insights for both sides.

​​If this meeting proved anything, it’s that solving grid congestion is a global team sport. We are proud to share our expertise and continue building the smart grids of the future—together!
