Retail Energy Code Company’s Post

In 2024, I’ve had the pleasure of running the Constraints Collaboration Project (CCP), enabling NESO and industry to collaborate on solutions for rising thermal constraints costs. While traditional network reinforcements and wholesale market reform will address these issues, those will take significant time. Hence, NESO and industry are exploring interim, market-based options which can be implemented to deliver results in the short term. I’m very grateful to our stakeholders who worked with us on constraints management because we all know its importance and to my brilliant colleagues Becky Hart Ed Farley Gus Clunies-Ross @Stevemcallister @Shadikhaleghi for their incredible contributions! Some key takeaways from our Dec webinar below Constraints Management Market (CMM): ⚡ Demand for Constraints (long-term CMM) is progressing to CBA and detailed design in 2025. 📝 Further engagement is ongoing with demand facilities. We’re specifically looking for demand projects with target commercial operation date (COD) before 2030, the ability to flex their operation within short notice dispatch period (within hours), and the ability to provide a large volume of demand to help manage constraints. ⚖️ Short-term CMM could enable new tech participation and increase certainty but presents material risks: forecasting uncertainty, gaming potential, and complexities undermining co-optimisation for stability and reserves. Given this, we should prioritise actions which create value for money for consumers and for now we propose to continue to work on the existing CMM that we have in place today (in the Local Constraints Market) and the development of other services that have similar features (e.g., Balancing Reserve). Technical options: 📡 Extended Intertrip schemes:  We’re exploring the development of Intertrip schemes beyond the the Anglo-Scottish boundary (B6) and have a future plan in place for a scheme in East Anglia (EC5). 🔋 Battery strategy: Project is underway to investigate operational solutions for using batteries to optimise constraints and add customer value, focusing on the B4 constraint. 🔜 Next steps: Continue with the innovation project about a transfer booster scheme as well as evolving existing services to manage constraints effectively, creating savings to the consumers. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested to be involved/have any thoughts and happy New Year from Devon to all my LinkedIn connections - I look forward to working with you in 2025! https://lnkd.in/eHWanUdB

Is running a Customer Panel a research or engagement project? Can it be both? How do you unpack customer preferences on a super-complex topic like service and price outcomes for an energy network, allowing them the time and space to understand the issues, ask questions and hear from others?   Here's a great (and short) case study in The Research Society's Luminate magazine explaining how we worked with Endeavour Energy (NSW) to meld research and engagement techniques in an award-winning project which saw us work with an 89-person Customer Panel over an 18-month period, with effectively no drop-outs.

Can 1 + 1 + 1 = 5….? On Friday 11th October, I’ll be speaking at a couple of panel discussions related to green energy, transportation and homes at the Everything Electric Show (formerly known as Fully Charged). The second panels topic is: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱, 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟱. I’ll talk about: ➡ The importance of a joined-up user experience - from communication and education to installation and usage ➡ Who customers will interface with - will it be energy companies/providers, house builders, car companies, big tech, or new service companies/brands? ➡ How systems thinking is vital - across legislation, financial incentives, standardisation and regulation 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗱𝗱? Let me know if you’ll be there, it would be great to catch up over a coffee. ___ TP Consulting - Strategy • Advice • Training FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric #designstrategy #innovation #greenenergy #evs PS Visit the STRATEGY section of my website to learn more and book a free, no-obligation 30-minute call to see if we might be a fit. 👆Link in my profile👆  ___ Like this post?

There are several companies involved in ensuring you receive your utilities. First, there are the companies that generate the energy consumers need (producers/generators). Then, there are the companies that transport that energy from the generation stations to your home (transmission/distribution). Next, there are the companies that track the delivery, compile charges from all the involved parties, and produce the bills that come to your home (retailer). Utility customers pay one bill, but all of the companies involved in delivering your utilities are paid through this one bill.
