The Advantages of DSR
More Savings

energy at times when it is at a
lower rate and gain access to additional revenue by being flexible in responding to grid requirements.
More Relaible
You directly contribute to improving the reliability of the grid and supply security by balancing the supply and demand, preventing blackouts or grid stress, and ensuring constant power supply.
More Flexible
DSR is not industry- or appliance specific, you can participate in
various ways that best suit your
company and operational patterns.
Solar PV and Wind energy produce varying outputs, dependant on time of day and weather, therefore there is a new demand on the national grid to account for these fluctuations. DSR is a fantastic solution to these problems, enabling businesses from a variety of industries to use their flexibility capacities for both environmental and financial gain.
The Rationale Behind DSR
The UK power grid faces varying levels of demand throughout the day and, with more renewable projects coming online, there is an increased requirement for system flexibility to ensure grid stability and prevent overloads or blackouts.
