United Utilities is connecting pumps, motors and biogas CHP engines at 8 sites to Dynamic Demand 2.0, providing 8MW of flexibility to capture benefits from balancing services (FFR), peak-time network costs (DUoS, Triad, CM Levy), wholesale and imbalance prices (working with United Utilities electricity supplier to deliver energy arbitrage opportunities within their existing supply contract and to access the imbalance market) and local constraints, whilst making the most efficient use of their energy. The move is expected to cut electricity costs at United Utilities’ sites by 10% a year, which will be used to reduce water bills for customers.
