Congestion and the role of
Congestion Service Providers<\/h2>\n

Grid congestion is a growing challenge: the electricity grid is becoming overloaded in more and more areas. To make better use of the existing grid, operators need flexibility from large business users and producers.<\/p>\n

Congestion Service Providers (CSPs) play a key role. They aggregate, organize, and manage flexible capacity on behalf of their customers, ensuring it is available at the right moments. This way, CSPs help relieve grid congestion, unburden companies, and contribute to a reliable and future-proof energy system.<\/p>\n

Redispatch is an important flexibility product within congestion management. It enables grid operators to quickly resolve congestion by temporarily increasing or decreasing flexible capacity.<\/p>\n

For CSPs, participating in redispatch strengthens your market position by actively responding to intraday opportunities and expanding your services. This way, flexibility becomes not only useful for the grid but also commercially attractive.<\/p>\n
