Flex Trading Local
Congestion and Capacity Services
Flex Trading Local focuses on services for the grid operator when local congestion occurs. Your battery is used to relieve the grid, and you receive compensation in return. It’s also possible that your grid operator has already asked you to become RTI-compliant, so that your PV system is shut down when there is an excess of power on the grid. Covolt can also handle the installation of the necessary hardware in such cases.
How it works:
- In the event of grid congestion, the grid operator requests that power be curtailed or supplied
- Covolt receives these requests and automatically manages your battery
- Includes nomination and any curtailment actions on your PV system
Services offered by Flex Local:
- CSC (Capacity Management Contract): Active deployment during congestion events
Features:
- Contribution to grid stability
- Fixed availability fees
- Activation fee for actual deployment
- Including nomination and curtailment
Suitable for: Companies in congested areas that want to contribute to grid stability and receive compensation for doing so.
What we do for you:
- Managing local flexibility: temporarily adjusting generation, consumption, or storage to relieve the strain on the power grid in your region. This is done through congestion and capacity agreements (CSC) and the Real-Time Interface (RTI).
Every situation is different.
