Details
The clean flexibility roadmap outlines a vision for a cleaner, more flexible electricity system, which maximises the use of energy infrastructure to minimise energy bills for consumers.
Flexibility is essential for integrating the new home grown, renewable power we are building to reduce our reliance on expensive and volatile international fossil fuel markets. It is also crucial for delivering the government’s Clean Energy Superpower Mission to achieve clean power by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
Developed by the government, Ofgem and NESO, alongside energy industry stakeholders and consumer groups, the roadmap commits named organisations to specific, timebound actions to unlock flexible electricity capacity. It establishes an enduring governance framework to facilitate implementation, through tracking progress, holding action owners to account, and enabling further measures to be taken where required.
One year on from the publication of the Clean Flexibility Roadmap, and in line with expectations set within it, we have published the first annual update. It covers progress to date, key metrics for measuring further progress in complex sectors (in particular consumer-led flexibility), and important new commitments from DESNZ, Ofgem and NESO to maintain momentum and ambition.
