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.
