Regen responds to Ofgem’s call on the future of distributed flexibility

Following Ofgem’s recent call for input on the future of distributed flexibility, on Wednesday 10 May Regen published its response, outlining four key recommendations. This includes that Ofgem should embed justice and equity metrics into the design and evaluation of flexibility scenarios and mandate retailers to report on how flexibility payments are distributed according to key socio-demographic indicators. It also stated that Ofgem must address the risk of a digital divide; undertake wider public engagement on customer energy resources and flexibility; and create a culture of innovation and learning within the sector.
