Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution wants more flexibility service providers on its system and has offered £500 to any flexibility provider who pre-qualifies on its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) before 30 November and meets eligibility criteria.

The pre-qualification process involves a short questionnaire and some basic asset information. This offer will be backdated to all those providers who have already registered on the new DPS which was launched on 13 July.
Earlier this month, SSEN announced a new tender for flexibility capacity worth £6.7 million, which will run until 30 November and is open to owners and operators of generation, storage and demand assets.
Gavin Stewart, Flexible Solutions Manager at SSEN said: “We are committed to growing local flexibility markets to help balance our network. This incentive scheme demonstrates our commitment to encouraging new participants into the expanding flexibility market, particularly those who might otherwise not consider the possibilities and benefits that distribution flexibility markets offer.

“We want to make it easy and worthwhile for providers to take the first step. I and my team are always here to answer questions and offer support. I hope this and the incentive scheme will encourage many new participants.”
