Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution has signed a new Sustain service contract to allow it to defer £1.7 million worth of network reinforcement using flexibility.
Western Power Distribution has outlined how the cost of flexibility procurement over the next five years could reach £9.3 million in its first Distribution Network Options Assessment (DNOA).
An investment of over £183 million is being recommended by National Grid ESO to support network reinforcement in 2021.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has called on generators to “signpost” their interest in providing 250MWs of flexibility to the energy system.
