answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2023 answer text <p>Since publishing the Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan in July 2021, government, Ofgem and industry have been working to remove barriers, facilitate change, and spur innovation to deliver a smart and flexible energy system. We are working in partnership with industry to ensure consumers can engage in flexibility and are protected when they do so. In Autumn 2022, National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) launched the Demand Flexibility Service (DFS), allowing them to pay consumers to turn down their demand when there might be a shortage of electricity. The Government is working with the ESO as they review the DFS.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 05/07/2023 11:59:42 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
