Actility has been awarded the status of Reserve Service Operator by French Transmission System Operator (TSO) RTE. This designation enables Actility to deliver automated, sub-second response services to help stabilize grid frequency during sudden imbalances.

RTE continuously monitors and controls the frequency of the French electricity system, matching generation with consumption in real time. When an unexpected loss of generation occurs—such as the outage of a large power plant—frequency drops. As a Reserve Service Operator, Actility supports the grid by rapidly increasing or reducing load within fractions of a second to help restore frequency stability as quickly as possible.

Through this mechanism, industrial sites capable of adjusting their consumption almost instantaneously can generate new revenue streams. Actility provides both the technical expertise to interface with complex automation systems and its fully automated SmartDR platform for demand-side management, enabling seamless participation in these fast-response reserve programs.
