Your remuneration

Flexcity remunerates you for making your flexible power available to the grid (availability remuneration) and the real modulation of this flexible power (activation remuneration).

In 2021, a flexible asset always available could have generated up to 11k€/MW in mFRR of availability remuneration according to market prices, and could have been combined with an additional remuneration from RR.
