Demand Flexibility Service (DFS)

Earn income by flexing your peak energy use

If your organisation has the capability to decrease energy usage or increase on-site generation at peak times, you could help balance the grid this winter and earn income too.

The ESO Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) incentivises customers to change energy consumption patterns when demand is at its highest. As an authorised DFS agent, Conrad Energy can help you realise income when you reduce energy use at peak times or use more energy from your own on-site assets. You’ll be helping to balance the grid and it’s good for the environment too, as reducing peak demand prevents the need to turn on other flexible generation assets..

So, if your organisation has the potential to flex your usage over the winter months, Conrad Energy can help you get paid £3,000/MWh through this service. You don’t even need to be a supply customer of Conrad Energy to take part – DFS operates completely independently of who you buy your electricity through.
