Flex in practice
Where it gets stuck
Contracts, onboarding and set-up are rebuilt each time, so flex does not scale beyond a few locations.
The congestion forecast, the decision to call and the call via GOPACS sit with different teams and tools.
Control room, flex team and account management each hold part of the process, without clear roles.
Without measurement and settlement agreed up front, it is unclear whether flex delivered and what to pay.
What we help with
Done before
Enexis
Mobile flexibility made callable day-ahead via GOPACS and SEP, with control and dispatch partners. The set-up was repeated at De Efteling and became the basis for a national tender.

Alliander Powered
Batteries answered day-ahead calls under a CBC contract and intraday redispatch requests, all via GOPACS. We connected the partners so that several grid service operators could control the same set-up safely.

Since 2021 we have built and run software for mobile grid stabilisation, including the Grid Services Module that let several parties control one battery set-up in the Alliander project. We bring that capability into your organisation as part of an engagement, built around your platforms and processes. It is not a product you subscribe to.
How we work
Processes, roles, data and platforms reviewed against what daily flex operations need. You get a gap list in order of priority.
One or two stations run end to end, from forecast to settlement, with real assets and real calls.
Playbooks, standard contracts and onboarding steps, so the next stations follow the same route.
We stay alongside your teams as regions and rules change, until they run it without us.
Tell us where your flex operations stand. We will tell you what it takes to run them at scale.
