Flexibility markets are made up of several mechanisms and services, and are designed to help protect the security of electricity supply in the UK and Ireland. When you participate in a Demand Response programme, Enel X enrols the flexibility of your assets into the appropriate market or service. For example, in the case of the Capacity Market, assets are placed into capacity auctions where a price is set that determines the revenue earned by participants.
As the electricity grid incorporates more sources of renewable energy, flexibility becomes more valuable. If your business can be flexible about its energy consumption, you can be remunerated through the flexibility markets.
