SPM Flexibility Requirements 2024-2028 — SPENOpenDataPortal

The "SPM Flexibility Requirements 2024-2028 Heat Map" dataset provides an indication of potential short and longer term flexibility requirements on the SPM Licence Area's network in upcoming years. This allows potential customers and flexibility service providers to interactively view the estimated overall MWh opportunity available in specific constrained areas to evaluate their eligibility for flexibility tender participation in upcoming months or years.

Disclaimer: This requirements data set may change from year to year based on updated analysis and updated DFES data. The potential revenue displayed is based on our current DFES, which drive our forecast reinforcement requirements and an estimated level of utilisation. Changes to our underlying assumptions informed by a range of factors out with our control, including the uptake of low carbon technologies may result in material changes to the potential revenue available as part of our flexibility tenders.
