Northern Powergrid will be seeking expressions of interest in flexibility services for next winter.

Initial information was presented at a stakeholder group and it expects to announce dates for the tender shortly. It will be seeking about 14MW of response from nine locations in its area. The network wants response in the Newcastle, York, Bridlington, Hull, Goole, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Huddersfield and Dewsbury areas. It is using Piclo to collect the data (giving Piclo a full suite of DNOs on its platform).
