The Price Responsive Bid Programme connects flexibility to price signals. The Electricity Distribution Business (EDB) offers a price for a specific load adjustment. If the flexibility supplier agrees to meet the request at that price, they send an “opt in” message. If they cannot participate, they reply with an “opt out” message.
This approach helps the network manage demand efficiently by encouraging suppliers to take part when the price is right. Once the dispatch instruction is confirmed, the supplier must deliver the agreed flexibility.
