How to provide Local Flexibility Services

You are a market stakeholder, an aggregator or a company and you would like to provide a Local Flexibility service for Enedis’ distribution network?

What is a Local Flexibility?

Enedis purchases Local Flexibility services to facilitate the integration of renewable electricity production and enable the evolution of electricity demand. Local Flexibility services are a new lever, in addition to the usual levers, for network planning, optimization and management.

A Local Flexibility service is a voluntary power modulation of one or more asset(s), during a given period and in reaction to an external signal, to solve grid congestions. This may involve, for example, temporarily changing your electricity consumption.

The local characteristic of the flexibility is essential as the congestion of the distribution network are in delimited geographical areas and therefore the location of the asset(s) providing the flexibility service is key.
