Connecting assets to power markets so you get paid for helping to balance the grid
National Grid and Distribution Companies have long term and short term services where they look for assets to provide grid balancing services
Local flexibility markets enable households and businesses to adjust their electrcity generation or consumption in response to local grid constains. Intrested partiners have to declare in advance thier ability to particate in this service.
Capacity market ensures a stable power supply by paying energy providers to maintain extra capacit. If you register your asset in the capacity market, you get paid to ensure it’s available to supply extra power during peak demand periods, contributing to grid stability.
Rapid growth in renewable generation and lack of transmission capacity to move the power has created grid constraints in Scotland. Assets in Scotland can help by increasing consumption or reducing generation.
Generators and Consumers adjust thier activity to help mantain grid frequecy of 50 HZ. Dynamic frequency response is a continuously provided service and non-dynamic response is a discrete service triggered at a defined frequency deviation.
We guarantee a minimum payment of £20 when your asset is registered with the DNO. Payments can be up to £500 depending on your asset size and DNO. In many cases, for an asset like an electric vehicle, you would not charge during peak times anyway, so you get paid for doing nothing.
