French term or phrase: puissance de réglage à la hausse ou à la baisse
This is a press release about a consortium building a battery storage facility in Belgium.

Le business model repose principalement sur la volonté de fournir des services plus variés et de plus haute valeur ajoutée grâce, d’une part, à une durée de stockage plus longue ... et, d’autre part, à une agrégation au sein d’un « pool » de capacités flexibles combinant unités de production et de consommation décentralisées. L’objectif est que cette capacité agrégée, dont la batterie est la clé de voûte, soit capable de fournir de la puissance de réglage à la hausse ou à la baisse sur le réseau pendant de longues périodes.

There are some ghits for "upward and downward regulating power" (??) but I'm wondering whether it could be interpreted as something like:
The aim is for this aggregated capacity ... to be able to regulate power to the grid for long periods of time, based on fluctuating demand.

regulating power at times of peak load or base load
Explanation:
The system, in which batteries play a key role, serves to provide regulating power both at times of peak demand and when only a basic amount of electrical energy is required. Energy is taken from the batteries when demand is high and then the batteries are charged up when demand is low.

disagree  Tony M: Ah, but 'base load' is something quite specific, and rather different from just a 'drop in load'
