Curtailment Optimization

Maximize Value During Negative Pricing Hours

Higher efficiency when it matters most reduces your curtailment exposure.

The Curtailment Problem

Value at Risk

Grid constraints forcing production cuts

Grid capacity limitations increasingly force solar operators to reduce output, leaving potential revenue untapped during peak production hours.

Negative pricing hours increasing annually

The frequency of negative pricing hours continues to rise across European markets, eroding the value of midday production.

Valuable production hours becoming worthless

Production during low or negative price periods represents wasted potential, reducing overall project returns and investor confidence.

Merchant exposure increasing

As PPA coverage decreases, merchant exposure grows, making production timing and efficiency increasingly critical to revenue.

The Efficiency Advantage

Peak Hour Performance

Value Concentration

3-5% efficiency gain concentrates in peak hours

Peak Production

Higher output when prices are highest

Grid Service

Better capability for ancillary services

Reduced Sensitivity

Less impact from curtailment events
