ADE’s written evidence published by committee for a flexible grid

Today, the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee published written evidence submitted by the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE), answering its inquiry regarding a flexible grid for the future.

Sarah Honan, Flexibility Policy Manager at the ADE, said: “It is great to see our evidence published by the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee in their latest inquiry into delivering a flexible grid for the future - this is essential to ensuring electricity supply and demand can be balanced as more renewables come onto the grid.

"Prioritising flexibility will not only save millions of pounds for the taxpayer by avoiding unnecessary grid infrastructure but will also directly create a more modern and reliable energy system that empowers households and businesses to maximise the value they can gain from their energy use. We hope that our written evidence will ensure that the government recognises the true value of low carbon forms of flexibility, which are key to making the delivery of net zero by 2050 fair and affordable."
