Capacity Limitation Contract
Glossary of terms
What is a Capacity Limitation Contract?
With a capacity limitation contract ("on demand"), you contractually agree with your grid operator to limit the requested transmission capacity if your grid operator requests it. In other words, you agree on a capacity limit between you and your grid operator and the conditions and fees are agreed in advance.
In a capacity limitation agreement, you may be represented by a CSP, but you do not have to be.
