Flexibility in the energy system is critical to cutting costs and reducing emissions on the path to Net Zero. By 2050, it could unlock tens of billions in annual savings while enabling a cleaner, more resilient electricity network.
This report, developed through the GridFlex programme in partnership with Digital Catapult and Energy Systems Catapult, and funded by Innovate UK, sets out the UK’s commitment to decarbonisation and the scale of flexibility needed to balance an electricity system undergoing its most fundamental transformation since the advent of the National Grid. What was once a predictable, centralised system built around fossil fuels and steady demand is evolving into a dynamic, decentralised network powered by renewables.
The report explains why traditional, siloed approaches to innovation risk falling short and why a systems-level response is essential to meet this decade’s targets. Download this report to explore the full findings and discover how coordinated innovation can support the UK’s transition to a clean, secure, and future ready energy system.
