Turn grid congestion into a new revenue stream.
In more and more areas, the grid operator is asking for flexibility. Congestion management deploys your controllable assets on congestion signals and enables compensation for temporary curtailment. Coordination with market parties runs via COMCAM.

Fixed monthly price, for controllable assets
Congestion management builds on controllable assets. Which forms of compensation are possible depends on your grid area and situation.
From bottleneck to business model
Congestion limits the room to grow on the grid. Those who can offer flexibility help the grid and create a new revenue stream.
Responding to congestion signals
On a congestion signal, the platform temporarily curtails your controllable assets, automatically and within your limits.
Enabling compensation
Temporary curtailment can earn compensation. COMCAM makes clear which form suits your situation.
Coordination via COMCAM
Coordination with the grid operator and market parties runs via COMCAM. You keep the overview without having to enter the market yourself.
Demonstrably delivered
Quarter-hourly data substantiates what you have delivered. Your contribution is demonstrable and the settlement verifiable.
How it works
How flexibility becomes income
Map your flexibility
Together we determine which assets are controllable, how much flexibility they offer and within which limits.
Connect to the signals
Your flexibility is connected to the congestion signals in your grid area, with COMCAM as the link.
Deliver and account
On a signal, the platform delivers automatically. Metering data substantiates the flexibility delivered and the compensation.
Where Congestion management proves itself
Business park at full capacity
Where the grid is full, flexibility becomes scarce and valuable. Participants help the grid and benefit themselves.
Battery or CHP available
Assets that are already in place can deliver extra value at congestion moments, on top of their day-to-day role.
Securing expansion
Those who offer flexibility are in a different position with the grid operator in conversations about headroom and connections.

Congestion management
What is congestion management and why is it important now?
Congestion management is the controlling, limiting or shifting of electricity demand or supply when the electricity grid has insufficient capacity. It is important now because companies increasingly face limited grid capacity, electrification and waiting times for heavier connections.

Congestion management on a business park: where do you begin?
Congestion management on a business park is about smartly distributing and spreading the available grid capacity between businesses. It starts not with technology, but with insight: which peaks arise when, how large is the simultaneity, and where is the flexibility? COMCAM makes that visible per connection and for the entire site.

Grid congestion
How do I solve grid congestion on my business park?
Grid congestion on a business park is not solved with a heavier connection alone. The first step is insight into peaks, simultaneity, contracted capacity, charging profiles and flexibility per business. You can then explore measures such as spreading, control, storage, energy hub agreements or contract optimisation.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to take part?
Controllable assets are the foundation, for example a battery, CHP, cooling or curtailable solar production. Together we determine how much flexibility you can safely offer.
How high is the compensation?
That differs per grid area, contract type and situation. COMCAM does not quote figures without knowing your specific situation; we make it concrete in a no-obligation conversation.
Will this disrupt my operations?
No, that is the hard precondition. Curtailment only happens within the limits you set. If a signal cannot be met safely, it does not happen.
How does this relate to Asset Management?
Asset Management controls on price signals from the market, Congestion management on signals from the grid. They use the same controllable assets and reinforce each other.

Capacity analysis
Grid congestion turns your connection into a scarce business asset. Capacity analysis shows where your peaks occur, how your capacity is utilised and where risk or headroom sits around contracted capacity and grid capacity.
Control
Asset Management
Solar panels, batteries, charging points, cooling and CHP are increasingly controllable. Asset Management controls them automatically based on live price signals: curtailing during negative prices, charging in cheap hours, flattening peaks with storage. Within limits you set yourself.
