The grid operator issues a call when needed, with notice no later than one day in advance (day-ahead).<\/p>\n<p>During the agreed period, the company adjusts its electricity consumption or production according to the contract terms. Through this capacity steering on call, space is created on the grid at moments when the pressure on the network is highest.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the company receives compensation for making flexibility available and for actual activation.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"textblock\" class=\"\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20); padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20); color: var(--wp--preset--color--font); \">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content    \">\n                    <h2 class=\" break-words hyphens-auto \" lang=\"nl\">Why enter into a CSC-A contract?<\/h2>\n            <p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"157\">A CSC-A delivers immediate value.
