Notice Title

PS22373 - Consultancy Project on Operability of the GB Electricity System for REMA Programme

Notice Description

This contract was awarded against the CCS RM6126 Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. This project aims to inform BEIS's consideration of policy options to ensure that the provision of operability services for the GB electricity system is consistent with our objective for a decarbonised electricity system by 2035, subject to security of supply, which is reliable and cost effective. The project will consider how the challenges posed to future operability can be most effectively addressed by examining potential areas of reform as identified by BEIS and informed by the contractor's assessment of operability issues. A key outcome will be to determine how system operators can make the transition from fossil fuel based ancillary services to those provided reliably by low carbon energy sources, cost effectively.
