The markets
More about markets
We propose turnkey offers corresponding to each type of electricity consumption. Depending on your industrial processes, we help you to implement the most suitable offer to modulate your electricity consumption via different mechanisms and markets. We also advise you on the most appropriate way to control your shaving to optimize your remuneration and minimize your constraints.
For each consumption site connected to the distribution network, we propose at least two shaving mechanisms that ensure the balance of the electricity network during the most tense peak days of the year (PP1/PP2 days) while offering attractive remuneration.
This mechanism is essential to ensure the security of electricity supply in France. It is the main mechanism for load shedding in France. It only concerns the winter months (from November to March).

How to participate:
An additional mechanism to the Capacity Mechanism which allows additional remuneration for industrial sites carrying out "green" load shedding. It also applies to the winter months (from November to March).

Constraints:
To ensure the balancing of the network, RTE has three types of reserves in which it is possible to participate. These can be activated at any time, 24/7, to absorb imbalances between electricity production and consumption and thus guarantee the security and stability of the network through a stable frequency.
These two reserves are intended to cover the loss of France's largest generating capacity: 1,000 MW of RR and 500 MW of RC.
Income forecast:
• 10 K€/year/MW. (2022)
Features:
• These mechanisms allow to obtain additional revenues to the Capacity Mechanism but require a 24/7 availability, as well as a high reactivity: 13 minutes for RR and 30 minutes for RC.
Operating procedures :
• Annual or daily call for tenders (Subscription for a few days in the year).
This mechanism common to 8 European countries is managed by the Regelleistung and is operated in France by RTE. It acts as a power reserve since its purpose is to maintain the network frequency at 50Hz.
Income forecast:
• Up to 120 k€/year/MW.
Features:
• It allows important remunerations but requires a strong reactivity:
o Reaction of the asset under 500 ms,
o Certified power (shaved/ load-shifted) within 30 seconds,
o Many activations every day of the year.
Operating procedures :
• Only the most flexible and reactive industrial processes will be able to participate in this mechanism: rotating machines, motors equipped with variable speed drives, electrolysis, electric ovens, etc.
Constraints:
• It is possible to reduce them considerably by coupling your industrial process with one of our batteries.
This mechanism acts as an energy reserve and is also intended to maintain the network frequency at 50hz.
Income forecast:
• Up to 150 k€/year/MW.
Features:
• It takes over from the FCR after 30 seconds in order to allow it to reconstitute itself to face a possible new fortuitous event on the electrical network,
• High reactivity : < 5 min.
Constraints:
• It is possible to reduce them considerably by coupling your industrial process with one of our batteries
