In some cases, this can lead to limitations on how much electricity can be generated and used at certain times in local areas. This challenge however creates opportunities – one of these being local flexibility.
Where the electricity is constrained, communities, small energy generators and domestic customers have the potential to support the electricity network by providing flexibility in return for money. This can be provided by reducing, changing or even increasing their electricity use, increasing the electricity they generate and/or using battery storage.
The current markets for flexibility are designed for large scale players and the current national system is very different to what is required locally.
Western Power Distribution and Regen are holding a series of interactive events to bring together community energy groups, energy generators and the public to discuss local flexibility markets and how they can best work We will be asking:
The events present the opportunity to network with Western Power Distribution, your local electricity network operator, while also hearing from those at the cutting edge of the emerging flexibility market.
