Flexibility
Load shedding: a winning partner for consumers and the grid
Beyond the environmental commitment that benefits the image of these electricity consumers, it’s also a financial opportunity. By agreeing to participate and to switch off on
days of high grid stress at RTE’s request, industrial and commercial customers can diversify their income by obtaining, in return, an annual remuneration (in €/MW) and an activation premium (in €/Mwh) for each switching-off operation carried out.
PP1 and PP2: grid stress days for load shedding
These days of high grid stress are days on which power system players, such as producers, heavy consumers or operators with storage assets, are on standby in case RTE calls on them to secure the electricity supply.
The aggregator: a key player in flexibility and the grid
These tailored solutions enable them to generate additional income by making the energy stored in these batteries available to the grid. An ideal partnership to help balance the grid, while making storage structures profitable.
Flexibilities: a challenge for the power system
To encourage the development of renewable energies, while at the same time helping to balance the power grid, flexibilities are proving to be an ingenious solution for the grid, thanks in particular to tools such as dispatchable generation plants, interconnections, electricity storage and consumption curtailment through process modulation or self-generation.
