VIOTAS leads demand response for the 6th year in a row
Once again, VIOTAS is the largest Demand Response aggregator and delivers market leading value for its customers.
In the 2029/30 T-4 capacity auction, VIOTAS has once again secured the largest volume of demand response capacity in Ireland, marking six consecutive years as the leading provider in the market. We also secured market-leading prices for 1-year capacity for the fourth consecutive year, reflecting the continued strength of our position in the capacity market.
For our clients, this means reliable access to the market and strong value for their flexibility, with VIOTAS consistently securing the best available prices for their capacity.
A Changing Market: Where Performance Drives Value
This year’s auction reflects a shift in the capacity market.
*One year contracts only
After several years of tight supply and rising prices, the market is beginning to stabilise. Less new capacity was required, and overall prices have softened compared to previous auctions. At the same time, competition in shorter-term contracts is increasing, making strong outcomes harder to achieve.
In this environment, performance matters more than ever. In the capacity market, results directly drive returns. Your site can only earn if it is successfully entered into the market and the value achieved in the auction determines how much you are paid. Because of this, the same site can deliver very different returns depending on auction results. Choosing the right aggregator to represent your flexibility is therefore key to ensuring you achieve the best commercial results.
VIOTAS’ continued leadership reflects our ability to consistently outperform in these conditions. Our clients’ portfolios are successful in the auction year after year, while also achieving market-leading value levels that support predictable and maximised revenue over time. For VIOTAS clients, this provides confidence that they are achieving full value from their participation. For others, it highlights a clear opportunity to reassess whether their current aggregator is delivering the best possible return.
How VIOTAS delivers results
Delivering market-leading value in the capacity auction requires deep market expertise, strong auction strategy, and proven experience. VIOTAS brings this together through our in-house team, who understand the capacity market in detail and know how to position customer flexibility to secure the best possible value.
This expertise is reflected in our track record, with VIOTAS securing the largest volume of demand response capacity in Ireland for six consecutive years and market-leading 1-year capacity prices for the fourth year in a row.
Beyond the auction, VIOTAS supports customers through our 24/7 Network Operations Centre, where assets are monitored and managed in real time by experienced specialists. Our account managers also work closely with each client to understand how their site operates, answer questions, and ensure participation remains simple, reliable, and aligned with their business goals.
VIOTAS continues to strengthen our offering through strategic partnerships, helping more businesses maximise the long-term benefits of demand response without upfront CapEx.
