Net Congestion Management by COMCAM
Consulting expertise for organisations that want to keep growing on a crowded electricity grid
Europe’s power grid is under strain from the rapid rise of renewable generation and the emergence of large, new customers. When available transport capacity can’t keep up with demand, grid congestion occurs: at peak times there is simply too little space in cables, transformers and substations to move all electricity. Grid operators respond with connection pauses, transport caps or curtailment obligations, which can delay expansion plans or cause direct production losses.
Facing this issue?
Consulting approach with CSP credentials
COMCAM views grid congestion as a strategic issue where technology, regulation and economics intersect. Commodity, Consulting & Asset Management are all reflected in our name, a combination that’s essential for making solutions both practical and profitable. Our recent certification as a Congestion Service Provider (CSP) confirms our role: we meet all requirements to offer client flexibility directly to grid operators and actively alleviate congestion.
Curious what a CSP can mean for you?
Our four-phase method
-
Risk & impact analysis
Using network data and production/consumption data we map where and when bottlenecks may arise and calculate what curtailment, penalties or unused production would mean for your business. -
Mobilising flexibility
We identify which installations can be shifted, limited or stored temporarily without harming the core process—LED lighting or thermal storage in a greenhouse, smart switching of e-boilers or EV chargers in an industrial hall, etc. -
Contracting & remuneration
As CSP we convert available flexibility into concrete agreements with the DSO: volumes, response time, measurement methods and remuneration so everyone knows the terms in advance. -
Implementation & monitoring
Control rules are embedded in your EMS or—if required—run via COMCAM steering boxes. Regular reports show realised compensation, cost savings and avoided curtailment.
