Consumer engagement for consumer-led flexibility
Consumer-led flexibility (CLF) refers to consumers voluntarily shifting their energy usage to help balance supply and demand in our energy system. This can allow them to take advantage of low prices when energy is abundant and avoid the periods when prices are highest. Optimising and sustaining uptake of CLF will benefit consumers, businesses and our energy infrastructure. As a voluntary activity, CLF relies on consumers being informed and willing to participate. This consultation seeks... MoreOpened 23 July 2025 -
