The Government believes that transparency is essential for a stable, secure energy market in which industry and consumers can participate with confidence.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Optional Downward Flexibility Mechanism (ODFM) service has been established by National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) to be used in exceptional circumstances and under certain conditions. ODFM was critical during recent periods of exceptionally low demand as it created \u2018space\u2019 on the system, thereby allowing the ESO to balance the system without having to resort to implementing emergency disconnection of embedded generation. As lockdown restrictions relax and demand increases, there is likely to be less of a requirement to use this service.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ofgem, as the independent energy regulator, has a statutory duty to protect the interests of GB\u2019s energy consumers and is responsible for ensuring that the ESO procures services to balance electricity demand and supply (including ODFM) in an open, transparent, economic and efficient manner.<\/p>
