Quick Reserve

Quick Reserve is a fast-acting, bidirectional service designed to provide flexible capacity to the grid in response to sudden imbalances between electricity supply and demand.

When there is an immediate need for either additional generation/reduced consumption or reduced generation/increased consumption, assets participating in Quick Reserve are rapidly dispatched to stabilise the grid.  Assets can provide the positive or negative version, or if they have the capability, they can offer both.  Quick Reserve is a valuable opportunity for flexible assets capable of rapid activation and adaptable performance. 

Quick Reserve is set to be launched in November, and Flexitricity is actively preparing market access to ensure our customers are ready to participate from day one. 

What we do

At Flexitricity, we ensure that assets are fully optimised for Quick Reserve, enabling rapid and reliable responses while maximising revenue potential.

  • Automated Dispatch: Quick Reserve calls are received by Flexitricity’s 24/7 Control Room, where assets are automatically dispatched to provide the necessary generation or demand reduction. This ensures a real-time response to grid needs, maximising both speed and reliability. 
  • Continuous Performance Monitoring: Throughout the Quick Reserve event, we monitor asset performance in real time, ensuring that assets respond precisely to grid signals and deliver the required capacity. 
  • Strategic Price Optimisation: Our data-driven platform selects the optimal price points for Quick Reserve participation, ensuring that all opportunity costs are fully captured and revenue is maximised for our customers.
