Unlocking energy flexibility is big news in both commercial and residential markets and the recent changes with P483 mean that more consumers than ever before can unlock potential to take part in energy flexibility schemes and deliver exports back into the network. Energy suppliers and other participants need the mechanisms in place to turn any connected assets (such as electric vehicle chargers, solar panels with battery storage and other smart devices) into anticipated demand which can then be used in flexibility markets, reducing stress on the network and earning revenue for consumers. AMVLP’s can aggregate load and use this to trade flexibility with the Balancing Mechanism on behalf of consumers.

 

In order to access these new flexible markets, participants will need to go through the AMVLP Self-Assessment process which Datamere can guide you through alongside our partner Enegen Power Systems. We’ve taken a number of applicants through the process and are extremely proud to have been involved with the self-assessment process for some of the first AMVLP’s achieving the qualification.

Newly accredited AMVLP's will have obligations to exchange data flows with NGESO, Elexon and other participants and GENUS® GridFlo offers a fully accredited solution that supports the SVA data flows required to operate as an AMVLP in the marketplace. Alongside Genstar4 we offer an off the shelf system allowing AMVLP’s access to the market through the industry recognised route which provides a comprehensive end to end solution.

Additionally, Datamere has developed a full managed service for AMVLP’s to cover off the SVA obligations. This sits with our managed services team and removes the need for the AMVLP to have to familiarise themselves with the SVA flow process and a new platform. Our team is proficient in the management of these flows and will flag any anomalies that need to be reviewed.
