Following the conclusion of our Phase 1 trials, we wanted to share our experiences and learning from our IntraFlex project and our plans for the next trials in Spring 2021.

IntraFlex is a Network Innovation Allowance funded project where WPD has been buying flexibility in a continuous, close to real-time market operated by NODES, with the support of Smart Grid Consultancy.  This ground breaking work started in 2019 with the design and build a bespoke service to meet the specific needs of the growing appetite for DNOs and Flexibility Providers to be able to trade in a more dynamic manner.

The first operational phase of the project ran during August and September this year and aimed to provide us with a basic understanding of how this type of market can work. A second, larger scale phase will run in 2021 and aims to build on the learnings from phase 1.
