Grid operator calls on industrial demand response for the sixth time in two months: 831 MW

Spain's system operator again activated its industrial demand response scheme, with 831 MW of industrial capacity, for the sixth time in under two months, El Periódico de la Energía reports. It is a last-resort tool for balancing the peninsular system, and its repetition in such a short window says more about how tight the system runs at certain hours than any planning document. For storage developers and hybridisation projects the signal is that flexibility has a buyer; for anyone evacuating renewables, that those same hours are when the network is most stressed.
