DSR: a perspective from Government
Can we reduce the costs of a conventional
response to this challenge?
Reduce the cost of our future low carbon energy system and
ensure the system remains stable so that customers’ bills are lower
and their supply is secure
Maximise the use
of low carbon,
inflexible
generation to get
value for money
Reduce the need
for conventional
generation,
including peaking
plant
Optimise short
term balancing of
the system
Defer or avoid
investment in
network
reinforcement
expenditure
DSR: a perspective from Government
There are alternatives which could balance
the system more efficiently…
Supply via
interconnector
Export of excess supply
via interconnector
Intermittent
renewable
generation
Excess electricity stored &
used when demand
exceeds supply
Intermittent renewable
generation
Demand decrease
Interconnection
Energy
Efficiency
DSR and Storage
(i.e. Smart
Energy)
DSR: a perspective from Government
So how much DSR potential is there?
• Current DSR restricted to large industry & embedded
generation (c.2 GW) and Economy 7 tariffs (c. 2.4 GW)
• Study has estimated total technical potential of up to
c.18GW of shiftable load on a winter weekday evening,
increasing over time
• Report has assessed the technical potential for load shifting
in the commercial sector at 1.2 - 4.4GW
• Extrapolating from UK trials, the present domestic potential
could be in the region of 1.3 – 2.5 GW
• Longer term potential likely to be higher
DSR: a perspective from Government
DSR in the Capacity Market
• Capacity market aims to deliver:
• Security of electricity supply
• Cost-effectiveness
• Specific features for DSR participation
• Transitional arrangements
DSR: a perspective from Government
DECC has launched Phase II pf the EDR Pilot
• £6million available to projects which improve energy efficiency at
peak times
• Wide range of projects eligible to take part, including replacement
of old pumps, motors, refrigerators and light fittings with new high
efficiency equivalents
• Improvements made from Phase I
• Register by 3 September and submit your full application by 15
October 2015. The auction will take place in January 2016
• Guidance, forms and information about workshops and other
events can be found on

Attractiveness of DSR to address the
challenges
• Established contractual arrangements led historically by the GB
System Operator (National Grid)
• It re-utilises standby generation assets
• Leverages increasing sophistication in building controls and building
automation
• In the case of some I&C customers, DNOs currently retain some
direct interaction with them
We started our initiative “Low Carbon London” in 2011 to trial I&C and
residential DSR at scale and build confidence of this service

Case study: the use of I&C DSR
• Reliability: Out of 185 unique events called during our Low Carbon London
trials, only 19 events received a null response
• Shifting peaks: Payback after achieving load reduction is not as large as
the reduction itself
• Procurement: there is a need to account for availability risk
• Technology F-factors

What is our view of the current market?
• The use of DSR by DNOs, and residential DSR in general, are still in their
early stages
• DNO use of DSR
– I&C DSR contracted by DNOs require process and procedures for mass
roll out;
– However, I&C DSR can have real benefits for DNOs:
– Addressing network constraint issues
– Deferring and/or avoiding network investment
– Supporting difficult construction outages
• Residential DSR (excluding Economy 7) is not yet attractive to DNOs
– Residential customers do indeed respond to price signals
– However, it must be linked to other value propositions from suppliers and
the GB System Operator in order to provide a net saving

Unlocking DSR
Next Steps for UK Power Networks
• ED1 Business Plan:
– £3.3m budget provisioned in our submission to Ofgem for DSR
• Based on a high utilisation price
• Based on an availability price in excess of National Grid’s given that we
operate in a niche market
– Expected total 64MW of DSR
– Allocated to 20 schemes which are under review thoughout the period as
load growth develops
• DSR aggregators and suppliers engagement was held in Q1 2015 to inform
our strategy
• Market engagement will follow in Q3 2015 following our annual load growth
review

Opportunities for Your Business

Maxine Frerk
Interim Senior Partner for
Smarter Grids &
Governance
• GB has seen a growth in intermittent generation.
• Flexibility is now important at both the peaks and at
times of low demand. The demand side can play an
important role in providing this.
The GB energy system is changing …

Discussion paper on Demand Response. 2012.
There are some ways in which demand
can already provide flexibility ….
National Grid
Demand
Balancing
Services
- STOR (Short –
Term Operating
Reserve)
- Fast Reserve
- Frequency
Response
Cost Avoidance
- Triad
- General demand
reduction/
participation in
wholesale market
Aggregators
Act as
intermediaries
between I&C
customers &
National Grid/
electricity
market
And more are on the way ….
• Demand Side Balancing Reserve (DSBR)
• Capacity Market Participation
• DNO – assistance with constraint
management
Ofgem’s work on flexibility
•Identifying the barriers to provision and uptake
•Looking to capture value of DSR across the value chain :
- “Stack” of benefits
- Coordination important
•Recognise complexity a challenge for I & C customers not core
business:
- Building understanding
- Need for tailored contracts
- Role of aggregators?
•Storage prices falling – need clarity over the regulatory position
•See non-domestic as where the immediate opportunity lies for DSR
Summary
• The GB electricity market is changing and price volatility is
increasing, incentivising more flexibility.
• Ofgem has sharpened these price signals to reward flexibility
through our EBSCR reform, half-hourly settlement.
• Ofgem working to remove barriers and facilitate flexibility.
• DSR already plays an important role in providing flexibility,
and has the potential to develop further in the future.
We are keen to hear from DSR providers on how we
can facilitate their participation in the market.
Session 4:
Delivering Flexibility at Scale
Delivering Flexibility at Scale
Education and engagement
• Simplification of information
• Clarity of value proposition
• More promotion of opportunities
• Greater understanding of schemes
Customer led products
• Clear packages for customers
• Examine product specification
• Longer term product opportunities
• Flexibility of product design
Certainty and stability
• Investigate longer term incentives
• Address longevity problem
• Elimination of uncertainties

  • 31.  2015. UK Power Networks. All rights reserved What is our view of the current market? • The use of DSR by DNOs, and residential DSR in general, are still in their early stages • DNO use of DSR – I&C DSR contracted by DNOs require process and procedures for mass roll out; – However, I&C DSR can have real benefits for DNOs: – Addressing network constraint issues – Deferring and/or avoiding network investment – Supporting difficult construction outages • Residential DSR (excluding Economy 7) is not yet attractive to DNOs – Residential customers do indeed respond to price signals – However, it must be linked to other value propositions from suppliers and the GB System Operator in order to provide a net saving

  • 43. Ofgem’s work on flexibility •Identifying the barriers to provision and uptake •Looking to capture value of DSR across the value chain : - “Stack” of benefits - Coordination important •Recognise complexity a challenge for I & C customers not core business: - Building understanding - Need for tailored contracts - Role of aggregators? •Storage prices falling – need clarity over the regulatory position •See non-domestic as where the immediate opportunity lies for DSR
  • 44. Summary • The GB electricity market is changing and price volatility is increasing, incentivising more flexibility. • Ofgem has sharpened these price signals to reward flexibility through our EBSCR reform, half-hourly settlement. • Ofgem working to remove barriers and facilitate flexibility. • DSR already plays an important role in providing flexibility, and has the potential to develop further in the future. We are keen to hear from DSR providers on how we can facilitate their participation in the market.
