Flexitricity helps your business use existing assets to create new revenue

Most businesses are sitting on untapped sources of revenue, in their standby generators, electricity consuming equipment, combined heat and power (CHP) generators and hydro generators. Flexitricity provides companies with access to this revenue, which can exceed £100,000 per annum on a single, medium-sized industrial site.

Flexitricity’s smart grid communicates directly with electricity generating and consuming equipment on clients’ sites via secure connections.  This allows Flexitricity to increase generation and reduce consumption during short periods of stress for National Grid – a valuable service which helps stabilise electricity supplies.  The company’s patented technology and continuous service monitoring ensure that normal core business operations have priority at all times, and critical standby assets become more reliable through regular testing.

Flexitricity’s system works within the client’s existing electricity purchase arrangements and, in most cases, with the equipment which is already on-site. 

Why Flexitricity? 

Flexitricity Ltd created and now operates the first, largest and most advanced smart grid system in the UK – bringing revenue to UK businesses, reducing national CO₂ emissions and helping to secure energy supplies.

The company was established in 2004 to develop new ways of addressing the short term balancing requirements of the national electricity system. Working with an enviable blue-chip client base, Flexitricity has become the country’s market leader in aggregated demand side management, winning awards for its team and technology along the way.

Flexitricity’s smart grid provides Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) – the most important category of fast-acting generation or demand-reduction capacity – which is held ready for National Grid, to keep the electricity system stable during times of system stress. Flexitricity’s live, operational service is available every day to National Grid.
