Renewable Energy Production Assets
By making their assets available via flexibility mechanisms and controlling their production upwards or downwards in response to RTE signals, renewable energy producers meet the balancing needs of the power grid while generating additional revenue, ensuring the profitability of their power plants.
Why valorize production flexibility?
Help balance the national power grid
Diversify and secure your revenues
Promote the integration of renewable energies into the power grid
How can you make the most of your production flexibility on the markets?
Our offer, tailored to the specific constraints of renewable energy producers, enables you to contribute to the balance and performance of the power system by interrupting your production when electricity supply exceeds demand. Agregio Solutions’ renewable production flexibility solution ensures the optimization and profitability of your solar or wind farms over a given period and compensates you for your production adjustments.
Make the most of the flexibility of your renewable generation to help balance the grid
Production flexibility can be implemented directly by the producer, or by other intermediaries
such as balancing service providers (if remuneration is via balancing mechanisms), or reserve managers (if it applies to system services). Then, RTE automatically or manually activates these flexibilities during periods of grid stress.
Renewable energies (solar and wind power) are important levers of flexibility, as their ability to stop and restart very quickly and at limited cost makes the grid highly responsive.
When production exceeds demand, the market is unbalanced and electricity is sold on the market at a negative price. By agreeing to halt your production at these times, you help restore balance to the grid and limit the costs of stopping other types of production.

All you need to know about storage asset flexibility:
The balancing mechanism is one of the reserves mobilized by RTE to ensure real-time grid balancing and resolve grid congestion problems. The balancing mechanism structures the bids submitted by balancing participants linked to producers, consumers or storage asset managers. These participants make balancing bids which are then activated by RTE when they correspond to the needs of the grid, and according to their price and their use constraints. When you participate in the balancing mechanism, you are remunerated for the service you provide to the grid.
To guarantee continuity of service and avoid load shedding or blackouts on the power grid, the frequency of the grid must be permanently balanced around 50Hz. RTE is responsible for maintaining this frequency by injecting or withdrawing electricity as required. To do this, it relies on system services and balancing mechanisms. Among these system services, there are three types of reserves: the primary reserve (RP), secondary reserve (RS) and tertiary reserve (R), which are activated by RTE in the event of grid stress. Reaction time varies between the 3 types: less than 30 seconds for RP, 5 min for RS and 15 for RT.
Solar generation is more rapidly and frequently adjustable than wind production. In fact, solar power produces a high load factor during solar hours, when the need for downward adjustment is greatest, and is therefore particularly well suited to this offer.
On the other hand, wind turbines produce more power constantly than solar panels, providing RTE with flexibilities that are more evenly spread out throughout the year or over the day.
