The ESB Networks Demand Flexibility Product Procurement Consultation seeks to address congestion management on the distribution network. To achieve this objective, the procurement will focus on grid locations with clear congestion needs, enabling increased demand and potentially reducing renewable curtailment.
This initiative marks a pivotal step towards contributing to strategic targets in the Climate Action Plan and represents early delivery of objectives in the National Energy Demand Strategy.
Key aspects of the project include identifying suitable locations for medium-term flexibility services, assessing their potential impact on the distribution network, and determining the necessary product arrangements.
