Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) opened its “largest ever” tender in ten areas across Scotland, England and North Wales. Announced on Friday 4 September, SPEN has entered a commercial partnership with Piclo, an independent marketplace for trading flexibility online, to procure up to 95MW of flexibility. Head of DSO Graham Campbell said: “We know flexibility is key to the development of the smart network of the future. As we help the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments achieve their ambitious net zero carbon targets, and our world becomes ever more reliant on electricity, these flexibility services are vital.”
