In places where the electricity grid temporarily reaches its limits, GOPACS helps grid operators respond quickly and efficiently. This keeps the grid reliable, affordable, and ready for further growth and decarbonisation.<\/p>\n<p>Through GOPACS, grid operators deploy flexible capacity from market parties and large energy users: exactly where congestion occurs and only when it is needed. By coordinating this flexibility intelligently, additional room is created on the grid without causing new bottlenecks elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>GOPACS is a unique collaboration between all Dutch grid operators. By working together nationally and managing congestion through a single platform, the electricity grid as a whole becomes stronger and more future-proof.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What does GOPACS do?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>GOPACS is the joint platform of the Dutch grid operators for congestion management. We help keep the electricity grid reliable at times and locations where it risks becoming temporarily overloaded.<\/p>\n<p>We do this by deploying flexible capacity in a smart way. When grid operators expect congestion, GOPACS brings together supply and demand for flexibility. Market parties can temporarily adjust their production or consumption. Through our platform, exactly the flexibility that is needed is activated: locally, at the right moment, and without creating new bottlenecks elsewhere on the grid.<\/p>\n<p>GOPACS coordinates this process, matches bids based on real-time grid data, and always selects the most efficient solution. This creates room on the grid again, companies receive compensation for their flexibility, and the energy system remains balanced.<\/p>\n<p>In short: GOPACS connects grid operators and market parties to solve grid congestion in a targeted, transparent, and cost-efficient way.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What does GOPACS cost?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>There are no costs associated with registering for or using the GOPACS application.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">Who is interested in participating in GOPACS?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>Participation in GOPACS is of interest to any market participant that can influence its electricity consumption or generation.

By participating in GOPACS, you not only help create space on the electricity grid. You also gain clear benefits. You contribute directly to the electrification and decarbonisation of the Netherlands, reduce costs, and strengthen your own operations.<\/p>\n<p>Participation may require adjustments to your processes. That is why grid operators aim to make participation through GOPACS as attractive as possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Financial benefits<\/strong><br \/>\nFlexibility is rewarded. You receive compensation when your capacity is activated and can reduce costs by managing your consumption or generation more intelligently, for example during peak or negative price periods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clarity and control<\/strong><br \/>\nGrid congestion creates uncertainty. By actively participating in congestion management, you decide under which conditions you offer your flexibility. You stay in control and know what to expect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More room on the grid<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing electricity more flexibly creates additional grid capacity. This can allow you to do more with your existing connection or obtain a larger (temporary) connection sooner than would otherwise be possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flexibility is needed both inside and outside congestion areas so that grid operators can maintain balance across the electricity system. GOPACS coordinates this intelligently at a national level. The result is a clear win-win: the grid remains reliable and future-proof, while you turn flexibility into certainty, capacity, and value.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"my-10 md:my-20\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"w-full max-w-[925px]\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content    \">\n                            <h3 id=\"congestion\">Congestion and Congestion Management<\/h3>\n\n    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-10 flex flex-col gap-3 w-full max-w-[926px]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What is congestion?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>Congestion occurs when the demand for electricity transport exceeds the available transport capacity. In other words, there is not enough capacity on the electricity grid to transport all the electricity that is needed at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>If this situation is structural, the grid operator will reinforce or expand the electricity grid. However, expanding the grid is a process that takes several years. In the meantime, grid operators try to manage the available capacity by shifting where and when electricity is consumed or generated. They do this with support from the market, such as large energy users, aggregators and energy suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>These parties can help by shifting their electricity consumption or generation to another moment. Energy can also be stored temporarily. This creates the flexibility needed to prevent or reduce peaks on the electricity grid.<\/p>\n<p>When a grid operator expects a shortage of transport capacity (congestion), the market is asked to help resolve it by adjusting energy consumption. This adjustment creates flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a cold storage facility could switch off its freezers for two hours during a peak demand period without affecting the temperature. This frees up capacity on the grid for another user.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on congestion, see the &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gopacs.eu\/en\/about-congestion-management\/\">About congestion management<\/a>&#8216; page.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What is congestion management?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>Congestion management is the set of measures deployed by network operators to mitigate the effects of congestion and prevent the network from becoming overloaded.

However, a congestion situation cannot always be predicted down to the exact quarter hour. It depends on factors such as electricity production, consumption, and weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>When grid operators expect congestion, they deploy flexibility in a targeted way. This can be done in several ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Redispatch (intraday)<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen grid overload is expected or emerging, grid operators ask the market for bids through GOPACS. A market message indicates in which area and at what time flexibility is needed. GOPACS then helps select the most effective bids, while ensuring that the solution does not create new bottlenecks elsewhere on the grid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity Limitation Contracts (CLCs)<\/strong><br \/>\nWith CLCs, flexibility is arranged in advance. With <strong>CLC-T<\/strong>, fixed time windows are agreed in which flexibility is delivered (predictable). With <strong>CLC-A<\/strong>, you are only called upon when flexibility is truly needed, and you are notified at least one day in advance (day-ahead). In both cases, these contracts help grid operators manage expected pressure on the grid in a controlled way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, grid operators can often identify the main risk areas and moments, but they combine real-time insights with different instruments \u2014 such as redispatch and CLCs \u2014 to activate flexibility at the right place and time.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">How many congestion areas\/scarcity areas\/bottlenecks are there?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">You can find all areas here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capaciteitskaart.netbeheernederland.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">https:\/\/capaciteitskaart.netherlands.en\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"my-10 md:my-20\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"w-full max-w-[925px]\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content    \">\n                            <h3 id=\"flex\">Flex Bids and Redispatch<\/h3>\n\n    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-10 flex flex-col gap-3 w-full max-w-[926px]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What are flex bids (in redispatch)?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>Flex bids are bids from market parties to temporarily adjust their electricity consumption or production at an agreed price.

This keeps the electricity system balanced and prevents new bottlenecks elsewhere on the grid.<\/p>\n<p>If the selected flex bids are sufficient, the load remains within the available transport capacity and the congestion is resolved for that moment, without requiring structural grid reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What price can I charge for my flex bid in redispatch?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>You determine the price of your flex bid yourself.

CSC contracts create prospects for more available grid capacity, faster connections for new initiatives, and a more efficient and sustainable expansion of the electricity grid.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"rounded border border-neutral-300 appearance-none marker:content-none group\" >\n    <summary class=\"appearance-none cursor-pointer p-4 md:p-6 flex justify-between items-center after:content-['\\e145'] after:font-iconRound after:text-primary after:md:text-[32px] after:text-h4 leading-8 after:inline-block group-open:after:content-['\\e15b']\">\n        <div class=\"w-[calc(100%-40px)]\">\n                <h3 class=\"text-h5 mb-0 break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">What is a CSC-A?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"px-4 pb-0 md:px-6 md:pb-0 [&#038;>.content]:w-full&#8221;>\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                            <p>A CSC-A (Capacity Steering Contract \u2013 on demand) is an agreement with your grid operator in which you make flexible capacity available.
