Driving flexibility at scale: Resources and insights
Energy flexibility is a key part of our shift to a carbon neutral society. Its potential is vast – and much of the flexible capacity in our networks and markets is still untapped. Those markets need more value and volume of flexibility, to help flexibility scale. Read on for how.
Discover the value to volume flywheel
Flexibility service providers (FSPs) need to see more value in flexibility to encourage them to participate in markets. System operators need to see more volume before attributing more value to it.
Yet value and volume are intrinsically linked; as one grows, so will the other. We therefore need to start to introduce more of each – so the flywheel turns and drives flexibility at scale.

Discover what it will take to unlock the full potential of flexibility at scale with market platforms in this updated edition of our whitepaper.
This second edition adds context on how three key focus areas – an open-ecosystem approach, an entity promoting “whole-system” value, and the required digital infrastructure – can help create a more connected flexibility ecosystem to bring more value and volume into markets and drive flexibility at scale.
Read more about the work being done in the UK to introduce more interoperability and connectivity, to allow the value and volume of flex to flourish. Download the whitepaper today.
