Network congestion

The power grid is becoming increasingly congested due to the energy transition. New connections are being denied, solar or wind installations are sometimes shut down, and growth plans are stalling. Yet there is room: available capacity is calculated and allocated during peak times, while the grid is often less busy. Congestion management allocates scarce capacity more intelligently. We’ll tell you all about it.

The difference between congestion-neutral and congestion-mitigating

Large-scale battery projects are increasingly required to operate in a congestion-neutral or even congestion-mitigating manner. This means that battery usage does not…

A capacity management contract. How does it work?

The Capacity Management Contract (CSC) is the successor to the CBC. However, the grid operator can still use both the CBC and this…

A capacity-limiting contract. How does it work?

A capacity-limiting contract (CBC) specifies the amount of transmission capacity you are allowed to use at your connection point. The basic principle is that you…
