GOPACS, short for Grid Operators Platform for AnCillary Services, is a platform to resolve transportation problems in the electricity grid (like congestion management and reactive power support). GOPACS is a collaboration of the Dutch grid operators and unique within Europe. Throughout our journey, we encountered many challenges, but also achieved milestones. This taught us important lessons. During our keynote presentation, we will take you on our route to success.
Central to our success is the principle of cooperation, which has been instrumental in bridging gaps among various stakeholders. By aligning common goals and securing buy-in from network operators, market platforms and their participants we have fostered a collaborative environment that leverages effective tools and practices. Additionally, accelerating market liquidity has been crucial in addressing the specific needs and concerns of target groups, enhancing overall market participation and efficiency. Strategic partnerships have played a vital role in this.
