The Optional Downward Flexibility Management (ODFM) service is to be reinstated this summer, with National Grid ESO now consulting on its terms and conditions.
National Grid ESO’s new Downward Flexibility Management service was brought into play this weekend to cut embedded generation, along with the Grid Code modification which was also approved.
National Grid ESO's Grid Code modification request regarding disconnecting embedded generation is urgent, Ofgem has ruled, with a final decision expected before the end of the week.
The UK’s power sector is seeking an expedited process to any review of system security standards, and pleaded with Ofgem to take seriously concerns over how embedded generation is disconnected during frequency events.
