Join the ancillary service markets

As renewable energy becomes more common, the grid requires more flexibility to balance supply and demand. As a Cactos customer, you automatically participate in the ancillary service markets managed by a national grid operator.

You’ll also earn compensation for your participation. Average reserve market revenues from Cactos units in 2023 and 2024 have been about the same as the leasing costs.

Like other functions, grid stabilization works automatically through the Cactos Spine service.

How do I know how many units I need?

The amount of capacity to be installed depends on a number of factors such as the size of the electrical connection at the installation site, the characteristics of the potential PV system and other factors related to electricity consumption. Our experts will always design the optimal package together with the customer, taking into account the various factors that affect the sizing of the system.

How large an energy storage system can you supply?

Cactos can currently supply a system with a maximum connected load of 10 MW.

How much capacity is there in one Cactos unit?
