What do we mean by a Flexible Energy System?
Life’s about balance. It’s about balance for us too. We manage the electricity network for every home and business in our area. This means meeting the electricity needs of 8 million people by balancing how much is available at any point in time and creating a network that can meet any increase in demand.
A Flexible Energy System uses flexibility to change our behaviour just a little bit in terms of how much and when we use and generate electricity. This could mean charging an electric car at a time when demand is typically lower and could cost customers less.
If people are willing to do that, we could get more out of the region's power network. And help deliver greener, cost efficient energy for us all.
