Sell more power
A strong grid can take more of your power
DLR increases the capacity of transmission lines and strengthens interconnections between regions.
With more grid capacity your production can reach high-demand areas, helping you sell to consumers at higher prices and volumes.
Improve your revenue predictability and ensure consistent sales volumes on a larger market. Further, with less grid congestion and curtailment, you gain greater confidence in your ability to meet power delivery commitments.
High power prices can occur in peak hours in which the grid is congested. DLR helps increase grid capacity in these moments, allowing you to continue generating power and making large profits.
Curtailment can occur at any time due to technical issues in the grid. With DLR the grid has more capacity and thus the amount of curtailment is reduced. This helps you keep your power plants operating.
With DLR you don't need wait for time consuming grid upgrades and can connect flexibly right away.
DLR helps make the most of flexible connection agreements by reducing the number of hours of curtailment per year.
Onshore wind is especially well suited to benefit from DLR. The same wind that spins your turbines also cools down the transmission lines that bring your power to your customers. More capacity in the grid allows you to expand your new or existing wind farms.
Accurate congestion data helps traders make smarter bidding and hedging strategies.
With timely congestion insights you can better align your bids with market demand, ensuring efficient energy dispatch, reducing imbalances and making higher profits.
Accurate knowledge of grid conditions minimizes the risk of unexpected price spikes or penalties due to congestion, improving portfolio management.
Grids are under increasing stress due to the growing demand for power around the world.
Grids are under increasing stress due to the growing demand for power around the world.
The best resources for solar and wind are often located far away from centres of demand with weak existing grids. Transporting this zero marginal cost power to consumers requires a massive grid build-out.
The acceleration in the pace of building the grid is unprecedented. The quickest way to add capacity is to maximize existing lines.
The grid already cannot handle new connection requests from industry, data centres, batteries, EV chargers or solar and wind generators. The lack of transmission capacity is now the biggest obstacle to affordable power prices.
High-voltage transmission lines are extremely sensitive to the weather and especially wind. A light wind doubles the capacity of an overhead line. Grid capacity can safely be increased by one third by properly accounting with the conditions along power lines.
