As part of its effort to manage congestion on the distribution network, ESB Networks has initiated a Demand Flexibility Product Procurement Consultation. This consultation aims to identify suitable locations for medium-term flexibility services and determine the necessary product arrangements to support congestion management.
The proposed procurement will target grid locations with clear congestion needs, enabling increased demand and potentially reducing renewable curtailment. This initiative aligns with the Climate Action Plan and supports the National Energy Demand Strategy.
In addition to the publication of the Decision Paper, ESB Networks' Recommendation Paper is also being published.
