AMP Clean Energy, Limejump, Powervault and Moixa are the winners in an auction held by UK Power Networks that will deliver 18.1MW of flexibility on its distribution network. The contracts, worth £450,000, will defer more expensive network reinforcement costs.

This auction was the first commercial use of Piclo’s smart energy platform, that provides a map of areas of network congestion and correlates them with flexibility providers, which may include demand side response, batteries or behind-the-meter generation.
