Flexibility Academy
Coverage of Great Britain
Intermediate
Online or in-house delivery
Understand the key principles, concepts, and requirements for the procurement and provision of response and reserve services by the Electricity System Operator.
Our experts will introduce access and revenue opportunities from Balancing Mechanism participation.
Gain a solid understanding of Great Britain’s fast-evolving energy system with our expert-led Flexibility Academy. We start with the National Energy System Operator (NESO), exploring how it balances the grid, the challenges it faces, and the innovative tools it uses to keep the lights on.
Dive into NESO’s core balancing services—Frequency Response, Reserve, and the Balancing Mechanism—and discover how they work, why they matter, and how they’re adapting to meet future demands.
Beyond NESO, we’ll guide you through wider market opportunities, including the Capacity Market and DSO-led flexibility services. Learn how these elements connect to create revenue stacking opportunities for flexible technologies and providers.
Looking ahead, we’ll explore how system needs are changing—and what that means for the future of flexibility.
