A brand new earning opportunity
The decoupling of Estonia’s electricity grid from Russia’s electricity system will create a whole new market in the electricity business – the market for frequency services. This means, among other things, that generating capacities connected to the grid are switched off (or on) for short periods to maintain frequency, and that these short periods are paid for at a significantly higher rate than normal electricity sales.
Futugrid has developed an automated software platform connected to Elering to maintain the grid frequency with solar plants. The solar farm will be connected to the Futugrid software via a secure router, the software will receive instructions from Elering to increase or decrease the load on the network and the software will automatically switch the solar farm on or off. For the minutes that the solar park is operated in Elering’s interest, Elering pays an additional significant fee via Futugride.
Find out more about how it works and how it could benefit your solar park.
