Control Room

Our 24/7 Control Room, based at our headquarters in Edinburgh, is the nerve centre of Flexitricity's operations. Staffed around the clock by experienced operators and engineers, it serves as the control hub for managing assets across the UK, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.

Equipped with cutting-edge communication technology, the Control Room maintains direct interfaces with system operators, such as National Grid, ensuring constant, real-time coordination of services and market participation. 

The Control Room plays a critical role in overseeing the automated dispatch of energy assets and managing their real-time performance. Powered by our advanced optimisation platform, we continuously track and respond to dynamic market conditions, re-optimising asset performance to capture every available opportunity. Whether adjusting for frequency services, responding to Balancing Mechanism instructions, or reacting to shifts in wholesale markets, the platform ensures assets are optimised to maximise revenue opportunities within their defined operational parameters. The Control Room then executes these adjustments, dispatching assets in real time to ensure optimal performance. 

A key function of the Control Room is to monitor asset availability, health, performance, and operational limits in real time. By liaising closely with on-site O&M teams, our operators ensure that maintenance and technical issues are swiftly addressed, minimising downtime and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operations. For customers utilising our FlexO&M service, Control Room operators work seamlessly with our regional engineers to provide rapid responses to any technical issues, maximising asset availability and performance.

Combining human expertise with automated systems, the Control Room ensures seamless integration of asset performance, trading strategies, and service delivery. It is central to our ability to deliver optimised, real-time energy services across a range of markets, securing market-leading value for our customers.
