Overview

This trial explores whether Demand Turn Up (DTU) can reduce wasted renewable electricity in Great Britain. DTU means using flexible electricity demand to absorb surplus renewable power instead of switching it off. UK registered businesses that provide flexibility services can submit an expression of interest. Successful applicants at this stage can then apply for a share of up to £16 million in total funding.

limited company

Key requirements:

  • Must be a UK registered business

Who is this for?

This is for UK registered businesses that provide electricity flexibility services. You need to be able to offer demand-side flexibility, meaning you can shift or increase electricity use on request. It is not for businesses outside the energy flexibility sector.
