Join UK Power Networks’ DSO on Wednesday 4 November, 10am–11am (UK time), for a webinar for Local Authorities exploring how energy flexibility could support local priorities and create new value across your area.

Whether you’re new to flexibility or already exploring it, this session will help you understand the opportunity, hear practical examples and identify next steps for your area.

Energy flexibility can help councils and local communities such as residents and business owners earn revenue by changing when they use, generate or store electricity – creating opportunities across schools, community buildings, EV charging, batteries, heat pumps and other local energy projects.

You’ll learn about:

• What flexibility could mean for your council – and how it can support local net zero and wider local priorities

• How local flexibility markets work – including how to identify opportunities and routes to participate

• What role your council could play – from participating directly to bringing local partners together or embedding flexibility into future plans

• What flexibility looks like in practice – with examples of councils already getting involved

• Where opportunities could exist in your area – including the buildings, technologies and projects that may be able to take part

• How community-led approaches are developing – including work to understand the wider benefits community energy can deliver for households, communities and local networks

We’ll also share practical tools and support to help you take your next step, whether that is exploring opportunities in your area, speaking to our Flexibility team or developing a potential project.

We look forward to welcoming you.
