Flexibility Dispatch — SPENOpenDataPortal

The "Flexibility Dispatch" data table contains all flexibility dispatch instructions data for the upcoming year. It provides month-by-month dispatch instructions on what the DSO Flexibility team intends to dispatch each month until the end of the ED2 Period, including capacity dispatching by different Flexibility Service Providers in different constraint zones based on the monthly competition results.

The table gives the following information:

Specified service window dates and times
MW capacity dispatching
Locations for flexibility dispatch
Specified dispatch ID
Flex Provider Details
Power and Generation/Demand direction.
