A DevOps engineer at ADS and Gopax presents how the Netherlands is tackling electricity grid congestion using a centralized platform called Gopax. The platform connects grid operators with flexible power providers through energy market platforms (Apex, Epa, Nordpool), using a mixed integer programming algorithm to find cost-efficient solutions. Two main mechanisms are covered: capacity steering contracts (7 days to 24 hours ahead) and intraday redispatch for same-day emergencies. Despite being recognized as leaders in congestion management, only 5% of redispatch volume has been cleared through Gopax, with challenges around market participation incentives, geographic localization of solutions, and scale of flexible power providers.
