Energy News – Late November 2024

Ofgem wants to introduce a new investment fund of between £5bn and £8bn to help prevent delays to the construction of grid infrastructure that will be crucial to decarbonising Britain’s electricity grid.

The regulator is striving to launch the Advanced Procurement Mechanism (APM), which will provide allowances for transmission owners to buy essential equipment further in advance, in early 2025.

The National Grid Energy System Operator (NESO) has launched a new, year-round Demand Flexibility Service (DFS).

Originally introduced during the energy crisis as a winter contingency service to balance the grid during times of high demand, NESO explained that as winter margins have improved the DFS can be repurposed as a year-round service.
