Congestion Service Provider

As a Congestion Service Provider recognised by TenneT, COMCAM can help organise flexible capacity for congestion management programmes. Where the technical and operational conditions are right, flexibility can support the grid and create commercial value.

How it works

Make flexibility usable for the grid

Grid operators need businesses that can flex energy consumption or production to relieve congestion. As a CSP, COMCAM aggregates and manages this flexibility so it can be offered professionally, with clear technical conditions and commercial agreements.

  • Congestion Service Provider recognised by TenneT
  • Aggregation of flexible assets
  • Commercial assessment of congestion management value
  • Automated dispatch and settlement

Suitable flexibility

Which assets and processes qualify

Not every installation is suitable for congestion programmes, and that is fine. What matters is controllable power that can respond reliably when the grid operator calls on it, without disrupting your operation. COMCAM assesses suitability honestly before any commitment is made.

  • Batteries, CHP and emergency power installations
  • Cooling, freezing and industrial processes with shiftable load
  • E-boilers, heat pumps and charging infrastructure
  • Solar and wind generation that can be curtailed when required
  • Combinations of smaller assets bundled into one reliable offer
Programmes and compensation

How participation pays

Grid operators pay for flexibility through congestion products. Redispatch, traded among others via GOPACS, pays per activation at the bid price. Capacity limitation contracts agreed directly with the grid operator pay for availability and for activation. COMCAM handles bidding, activation and settlement, and reports what your flexibility earned.

  • Redispatch via GOPACS: compensation per activation
  • Capacity limitation contracts with the grid operator: availability plus activation
  • COMCAM bids, activates and settles within agreed operational limits
  • Transparent reporting of activations and earnings

Why companies participate
