Understand flexible demand
Flexibility or Flexible demand is the ability to adjust electricity usage in response to supply or demand. It enables customers to control when they use or store electricity, depending on local renewable generation and network conditions. By shifting demand to times of high local renewable generation, national energy costs and carbon footprint can be reduced. Flexible demand products allow businesses and domestic customers to benefit from reduced costs and carbon footprint. Our flexibility products and services provide customers with the incentives and information needed to do this effectively.
