Regulatory energy

Regulatory energy is energy purchased by CEPS from registered market participants for the purpose of maintaining power balance in the electrification system. Imbalances can arise due to variations in the total supply and consumption on the grid. Regulatory energy can be positive (it is activated when there is a shortage of electric power and there is a need to, for example, increase the output of a power plant) or negative (it is activated, on the contrary, when there is a surplus of electric power in the grid and there is a need to reduce the output of a power plant or increase the load).
