Understand and assess the impact of technical curtailment on your projects

Tailored solutions for technical curtailment

Unlock the potential of your renewable projects: tailored solutions for technical constraints. Are you losing revenue to energy curtailment?

Curtailment analysis

A high concentration of renewable plants in grid nodes or areas can cause congestion, forcing the grid operator to apply constraints to the plants connected to that node. These constraints limit the assets' output and can cause potential economic losses, as well as possible breaches of PPA contracts or guarantees of origin (GoOs).

Opportunity analysis

In high-demand areas, such as cities and industrial centres, opportunities can arise, the opposite of the previous case, due to a lack of energy in that zone at peak hours. These nodes experience "upward" constraints that raise the value of the energy injected there, opening the possibility of accessing new revenue streams that can considerably increase the return on investment in hybrid or storage projects.

How can we help you?

Our specialist team offers tailored analysis and forecasts of technical constraints to identify the most suitable areas for project development. This service helps to:

• Quantify the effects of technical constraints to assess the value of a project in operation or development, in bankability or asset-transaction processes.
• Advise on potential improvements to the plant's operating strategy, through inclusion in the SRAP system or pre-qualification in balancing services.
• Evaluate constraint events and trends at regional, provincial and nodal level with in-depth analysis of historical data and project locations.
• Generate technical-constraint forecasts using data on grid reinforcements, the permitting status of nearby projects and expected changes in the energy system.

All of this comes with contextual information on the regulatory framework and the implications of participating in technical constraints, giving you the tools to understand the possibilities and limitations of this market for your assets.
