An Ofgem spokesperson said:
"National Grid has had a good response from generators and businesses to the tender for providing balancing services. We are confident that National Grid has the right levers to keep the lights on. But there is no room for complacency and it must remain vigilant at all times.”
We have approved the method National Grid use for deciding how much balancing services to buy. And we will be checking that their process provides good value for customers."
