Open letter: facilitating efficient use of flexibility sources in the GB electricity system
Correspondence and other
The energy system is changing. There is an increasing volume of intermittent generation connected to the system and some generation is becoming more localised. The way consumers participate in energy markets is also evolving.
We have launched a new project, the Flexibility project, to develop our strategy to enable and enhance the efficient provision and use of flexibility sources across the supply chain in the GB electricity system. The aim of this is to ensure the energy system becomes sustainable while continuing to deliver resilience and value for money as its operation changes.
This letter explains our new Flexibility project and gives you an update on ongoing Ofgem projects that interact with this new piece of work.
