NGED Your Power Future - Delivering a Flexibility First Approach

Delivering a Flexibility First Approach

WPD is committed to building a smarter, more flexible network, which meets the needs of our customers now and into the future. Through expansion of our role into DSO type activities, we can ensure this is delivered efficiently and economically by making use of all new opportunities afforded by the forthcoming changes in the way electricity is generated, stored and consumed.

WPD has led the industry in developing flexibility and neutrally creating markets for others to deliver that flexibility to be used on distribution networks. We are keen to understand your views on our proposals for delivering a smarter, more flexible network and whether any aspects can be improved.

We want to hear your views on the proposals presented in this consultation. It is important that we get a broad range of stakeholders' opinions and we are keen to get your feedback on the specific questions we have included throughout this consultation.
