Load shedding
Load shedding: a strategic and profitable solution for cold logistics and agro-industrial sites
Load shedding involves temporarily reducing your electricity consumption at key times, in response to the needs of the grid.
Load shedding: a winning partner for consumers and the grid
Beyond the environmental commitment that benefits the image of these electricity consumers, it’s also a financial opportunity. By agreeing to participate and to switch off on
days of high grid stress at RTE’s request, industrial and commercial customers can diversify their income by obtaining, in return, an annual remuneration (in €/MW) and an activation premium (in €/Mwh) for each switching-off operation carried out.
PP1 and PP2: grid stress days for load shedding
These days of high grid stress are days on which power system players, such as producers, heavy consumers or operators with storage assets, are on standby in case RTE calls on them to secure the electricity supply.
