The Demand Flexibility Service will be used for a second winter in a row in the hope of reducing the strain on the power grid from very high levels of demand
. It works by paying customers and businesses that sign up to the scheme to reduce their electricity use during peaks in demand.The scheme, subject to Ofgem approval, will run from November to March and the idea is to reduce the strain on the electricity grid that arises in the dark and cold winter months when demand usually soars.
DFS should help avert that situation, and can even save customers money. Pricing for this year’s service has not been fully decided, but for an initial series of tests participants will be offered £3 per kilowatt hour. To encourage more customers to take part and to ensure the system works as intended, there will be at least 12 hour-long tests of the service, with six taking place in the first before the end of December.
