In her presentation, titled “Challenges & Hurdles for RES Investments: Curtailments and the Role of Aggregators”, Elena addressed some of the most pressing issues facing renewable energy investments in Greece. She emphasized the growing challenge of renewable curtailments and outlined the pivotal role of aggregators in mitigating these risks, ensuring efficient market participation, and unlocking the value of renewables.
As Greece’s #1 renewable energy aggregator and Demand Response service provider, Optimus Energy manages more than 3.8 GW of installed renewable capacity. The company remains fully committed to tackling the issue of curtailments while driving innovation through advanced flexibility solutions such as battery energy storage systems, demand response, and dispatchable renewable assets.
