ED2 EoI 2020
Expression of Interest
The deadline for responses to this Expression of Interest was Monday 1 February 2021.
We asked flexibility providers to express an interest in providing us with flexibility in the next price control period, from 2023 to 2028 to identify the current level of flexibility available on the network and obtain information on how much flexibility could potentially be available in the future.
This expression of interest highlights 21 locations on our grid and primary network (from 132kV down to 6.6kV) where we think we’ll require flexible services in the future, due to network constraints.
By understanding the current level of interest in our flexibility markets, we can ensure that our approach is tailored to meet the needs of our stakeholders as we demonstrate our commitment to reducing barriers to entry into the North West flexibility market.
Responses
We value every response submitted to our Expression of Interest as it helps to shape our approach to flexibility in the future. The feedback received was varied, and although it provided valuable insight to several of the key questions posed, unfortunately the results of the survey were inconclusive. Therefore, we plan to hold further engagement sessions with our stakeholders and in particular, aggregators and low voltage flexibility providers to facilitate the developments of these growing markets. You can view a summary of our key findings below.
We are continuously revising our approach to procuring flexibility in line with best practice as identified by the industry and through stakeholder engagement. You can still help to shape our future flexibility approach by completing this quick 3-minute survey here.
You can sign up to our flexible services distribution list to be notified whenever we publish an expression of interest.
