Flexibility Services
Net zero targets and changing consumer preferences are accelerating the drive towards decarbonisation. Alongside this, the uptake in low carbon technologies like heat pumps and electric vehicle (EV) charge points is creating increased demand for electricity to power people's homes, business and transport.
One of the ways we can facilitate the low carbon transition and meet the increased demand for electricity, is through the use of targeted Flexibility Services. This means that we will contract with flexibility service providers who can increase or decrease their energy consumption and/or generation at times requested by us.
As we move towards a Distribution System Operation (DSO) function, with more localised network management, the provision of targeted Flexibility Services will help us to manage peaks in demand and generation on our network and get the most out of our existing assets. It will enable a smarter and more efficient approach to network management by minimising the need for costly network reinforcement and the associated impact on customers bill and gives providers the opportunity to earn revenue by supporting the energy system.
