Enabling Demand Side Flexibility in NESO Markets

This Enabling Demand side Flexibility in NESO markets report (originally entitled Flexibility Market Strategy), is a response to the urgent need to mobilise demand side flexibility in NESO markets as Great Britan shifts towards a greener future. Demand side flexibility is essential in our decarbonisation journey to clean power by 2030 and net zero by 2050.  

Following a period of industry Call for Input in June 2024 as ESO, where we received valuable feedback to guide this piece of work, we now progress to further defining our focuses and planning in detail alongside partners. 

In this document, we explore the no regret market reform actions which can be taken in the mid-term to sharpen the explicit market signals, while awaiting the enduring market arrangements that will be established by Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) and the implicit market signals enhanced by Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement. This work clarifies our vision and the outcomes we want to achieve pre-REMA, as well as setting out a series of objectives that have to be met to deliver the outcomes.
