Municipal Grid Flexibility Platform

05Funding Secured Energy Digital Infrastructure Digital platform DEMO / REPLACE WITH VERIFIED DATA

Lifecycle stage

What this means for industry The project is real and dated. Prepare for market engagement.

The challenge

New connections for heat pumps and charging are being delayed by distribution constraints rather than by generation.

The project

A flexibility platform coordinating municipal assets, public charging and large connected consumers so that constrained periods are managed rather than met with reinforcement alone. The municipal utility remains the operator; the platform is procured as a capability, not as a service dependency.

Expected impact

  • Deferred reinforcement on defined feeders
  • Published flexibility availability by district
