The UK is to host what’s been described as the world’s largest, most ambitious energy flexibility market trial, part of two separate energy pilot projects launched today.
UK Power Networks (UKPN) has contracted for more than 18MW of power in what has been billed as the country’s largest ever competitive flexibility tender.
Energy tech start-up Piclo has penned a “milestone” commercial agreement with Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) for its flexibility platform.
Flexibility platform provider Piclo has completed a clean sweep of Great Britain’s networks by signing up Western Power Distribution (WPD) to its Piclo Flex marketplace.
Ofgem has confirmed financial support to an innovation project due to get underway in East Fife later this month that will test how to trade participants’ flexibility using a digital marketplace to generate income and stave off grid upgrades.
