ESB Networks Demand Flexibility Product Procurement ESBN Demand Flexibility Procurement Consultation The CRU has today, the 20th December 2023, published a Consultation Paper on the ESB Networks DAC (ESBN) Demand Flexibility Product Proposal alongside a CRU Cover Note.
In this consultation, the CRU is seeking views on ESBN's proposal for the procurement of a demand flexibility product for congestion management flexibility services on the distribution system, over durations of minimum 4 hours over peak demand hours.
This procurement could entail up to 500 MW of flexibility services for the distribution system.
In order to meet the flexibility targets set out in the Climate Action Plan 2023 (CAP23) for 2025 and 2030, up to a total of 1 GW of flexibility services may be needed on the distribution system by 2030.
The consultation is open until 14 February 2024 and the consultation should be read jointly with the CRU Cover Note.
It is intended to share all non-confidential responses to the consultation with ESBN prior to the CRU making a decision on the proposal set out in this consultation.
If you do not wish your response to be shared with ESBN, please note this clearly when submitting the response.
