Network Flexibility Services RFP

WEL Networks invites proposals from suitably qualified parties to provide up to 5 MW of network flexibility services within the WEL distribution area.
 
The purpose of this procurement is to secure dispatchable flexibility capable of reducing peak demand or increasing local supply during periods of network constraint. The flexibility procured through this process will be used as a non-network alternative to conventional transmission and/or distribution network reinforcement, helping manage peak demand while maintaining reliability and supporting continued electrification across the region.
 
This Request for Proposal (RFP) is intended to test the market for flexibility solutions capable of addressing the identified network constraint and to inform WEL’s assessment of non network alternatives relative to conventional reinforcement options.
