Edinburgh, UK, October 7th - Flexitricity, the energy flexibility expert, announces the launch of FlexGO, a pioneering service helping industrial and commercial energy users, as well as operators and aggregators of domestic flexible technologies, to unlock new revenue by participating in energy flexibility markets. As Great Britain continues its transition to net zero, FlexGO provides a straightforward way for businesses to contribute to a greener energy system without disrupting daily operations.
FlexGO has been developed in response to the National Energy System Operator’s call for a fivefold increase in energy flexibility. It is designed to support a wide range of organisations, including those operating refrigeration units, heat pumps, electric vehicle charge points, and other flexible technologies.
FlexGO offers several key advantages. It creates new revenue streams that can help offset energy costs - potentially earning businesses tens of thousands of pounds per MW per year. It operates in full alignment with business availability, ensuring no risk to core operations. It also supports environmental and social governance ambitions by enabling businesses to contribute to a low-carbon future.
By removing complexity, FlexGO allows businesses to flex their energy use or generation whenever it delivers commercial and operational value, without complicated sign-ups or technical barriers. From asset identification to market participation, FlexGO manages the process end to end, enabling businesses to focus on their core operations while unlocking new income and sustainability benefits.
Andy Lowe, Chief Executive Officer at Flexitricity, said:
"FlexGO is our answer to the growing call for decentralised, smarter energy solutions. It enables businesses of all types to become active participants in the energy system, not by changing how they operate, but by unlocking the value of what they already have. It’s energy flexibility made it easy."
