Solar generation can contribute flexibility, especially when paired with controllable storage.
Potential grid services
Negative pricing
When export prices are negative, controllable systems may reduce or shift export, subject to the inverter, metering and market arrangement.
Demand flexibility
Where solar is paired with controllable loads or a battery, generation can be used on site or stored rather than exported.
Energy arbitrage
Solar paired with a battery can store energy and shift when it is used or exported, subject to the site setup and market access.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓Battery storage
A controllable battery can store, release or shift energy to support different grid services.
Tap to see grid services ↓Battery storage
A controllable battery can store, release or shift energy to support different grid services.
Potential grid services
Frequency response
A suitably controlled battery can charge or discharge in response to grid-frequency signals, subject to technical and market qualification.
Energy arbitrage
Store energy when prices are lower and discharge when prices are higher, within battery limits and the agreed market route.
Negative pricing
A battery may charge or adjust export during negative-price periods when its controls, tariff and market setup allow.
Demand flexibility
Charge or discharge can be scheduled to shift the site’s import and export when the grid needs flexibility.
Inertia services
Some grid-forming batteries can provide fast stability support when fitted with suitable controls and accepted for the service.
Capacity Market
Eligible storage may take part in capacity arrangements when it meets the applicable testing, delivery and contract requirements.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓Heat pumps
Flexible heating can shift some electricity use while maintaining comfort and heat.
Tap to see grid services ↓Heat pumps
Flexible heating can shift some electricity use while maintaining comfort and heat.
Potential grid services
Demand flexibility
A smart controller and thermal storage can shift heating away from high-demand periods, within comfort and system limits.
Negative pricing
Where controls and tariffs allow, heating can be scheduled to use more electricity during lower or negative-price periods.
Energy arbitrage
A heat pump with suitable thermal storage may shift electricity use to different price periods; it does not export power by itself.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓EV charging
Smart charging can move vehicle charging to different times; export requires a compatible vehicle and charger.
Tap to see grid services ↓EV charging
Smart charging can move vehicle charging to different times; export requires a compatible vehicle and charger.
Potential grid services
Demand flexibility
Smart charging can pause or shift charging to help manage demand, provided the vehicle is connected and the driver’s needs are met.
Negative pricing
Charging may be moved into lower or negative-price periods when the charger, vehicle, tariff and controls support it.
Energy arbitrage
Smart charging can shift the timing of electricity use; exporting stored energy requires compatible bidirectional equipment and an eligible setup.
Frequency response
Fast response is only possible where the charger, vehicle, control system and market qualification support the required service.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓Solar farms
Utility-scale solar can offer generation flexibility, often alongside co-located storage.

Utility-scale solar can offer generation flexibility, often alongside co-located storage.
Potential grid services
Negative pricing
Dispatchable solar may adjust export during negative-price periods, depending on connection, contracts and plant controls.
Demand flexibility
Curtailment or coordinated output changes can provide flexibility where the plant and connection arrangements permit.
Energy arbitrage
Solar paired with storage can shift exported energy to different periods, subject to the battery, metering and market route.
Capacity Market
Participation depends on eligible capacity, delivery capability and meeting the applicable Capacity Market rules.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓Grid-scale battery storage
Large batteries can deliver fast, flexible response when their controls and market qualification support it.
Tap to see grid services ↓Grid-scale battery storage
Large batteries can deliver fast, flexible response when their controls and market qualification support it.
Potential grid services
Frequency response
Fast battery controls can adjust charging or discharge in response to grid frequency, subject to the specific service qualification.
Energy arbitrage
Store electricity in lower-price periods and discharge in higher-price periods within operational and market limits.
Negative pricing
Charging and export can be adjusted during negative-price periods when the connection, contracts and controls allow.
Demand flexibility
Scheduled imports and exports can be shifted to support the wider system and local constraints where applicable.
Inertia services
Suitable grid-forming inverters may provide stability support after completing the required technical assessment and qualification.
Capacity Market
Eligible storage can seek capacity revenue by meeting the scheme’s availability, testing and delivery obligations.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
Tap to see grid services ↓Business & industry
Flexible processes, on-site generation and storage can be assessed for grid services.

Flexible processes, on-site generation and storage can be assessed for grid services.
Potential grid services
Demand flexibility
Eligible processes can reduce or shift electricity use at agreed times without compromising operational requirements.
Frequency response
Fast, controllable loads or batteries may respond to frequency signals if they meet technical standards and qualification.
Negative pricing
Flexible demand or storage can respond to negative-price periods where site controls, contracts and settlement arrangements allow.
Capacity Market
Eligible dependable capacity may participate directly or through an aggregator, subject to scheme rules and obligations.
Actual eligibility and performance depend on your equipment, controls, connection, market rules and technical qualification. Not every service is available to every asset.
