Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find my invoices?

Large consumers who place flex bids in the congestion portal find their bills there. Organizations that place orders through a trading platform find their invoices there.

Is it possible to see the call-off dates on GOPACS?

You can view congestion calls from the grid operators and TenneT on our announcements page. The decreased orders, volume and prices can be viewed on the Taken Orders page. For more on this, check out our Explanation of Congestion Dates page.

Where can I see which areas are requesting bids?

On this page you will find the congestion areas for which grid operators are making or have made a call for proposals.

Will I be notified when I need to post a flex bid?

Yes, you get this message from your grid operator. This will ask you to place flex bids in the congestion portal for the period when congestion is expected in the area in which you are located.

How can I best reach you?

You can reach us via the contact form on the contact page. Are you a wholesale customer or from a market party? Then you can also call your relationship manager at your own network operator.
