Let’s Discover the Flexibility of your Energy Assets

Flexibility is a crucial building block of the energy transition that’s aimed towards a fully renewable energy system. Flexibility ensures the optimisation of the current energy system through balancing the production and demand of electricity. This significantly reduces the investment costs needed to strengthen the grid for a sustainable future. In turn, we benefit from lower grid tariffs and energy bills, to extra revenue and a reduce CO2 footprint.

What is Flexibility?

To put it simply, flexibility in energy is the option to add, lower, change, shift or postpone the production and/or consumption of electricity. For example, due to high prices a factory may lower its production for a short period to save energy. Or perhaps a cold store will cool for a longer period when energy prices are low, only to switch off cooling when prices are high again. Flexibility can look totally different depending on the assets of the business. What stays the same is the manipulation of asset energy use to meet external requirements.

How does Flexibility Generate Revenue?

Flexibility focuses on matching the supply of producers with the demand of consumers, using the price of electricity as an indicator. Systems like Sympower’s demand response platform can help to unlock the inherent flexibility of energy assets. Through this you can generate revenue by utilising these different energy markets:

- Day-ahead/Spot market

- Intraday market

- Imbalance

- Primary Reserve Markets

- Secondary Reserve Markets

- Tertiary Reserve Markets
