About the Demand Flexibility Service

What is DFS?

NESO's Demand Flexibility Service procures voluntary load reduction from aggregators, suppliers, and large consumers during periods of system stress. Providers commit to deliver a specified MWh volume when called.

Service mechanics

NESO issues a Service Requirement announcing a turn-down (reduce consumption) or turn-up window. Providers submit bids. NESO accepts bids in merit order until the requirement is met.

Settlement & clearing price

Accepted bids are settled at their offered price (pay-as-bid) or the marginal clearing price. The VWAP shown here is the volume-weighted average of accepted bid prices across settled events.

Units & conventions

All prices display in £/MWh. NESO source data may express prices in other units (p/kWh etc.) — Gridview normalises these and stores the verbatim original unit for auditability. Volumes are in MWh.

Data source & lag

Sourced from the NESO Open Data Portal (CKAN API, dataset: demand-flexibility-service). Updated daily at 06:00 UTC. Settlement data typically appears 1–3 days after the service window closes.

Provider strings

Provider names are stored verbatim from NESO — not mapped to BMU codes. The same provider may appear under different strings across events.
