Decarbonisation and industrial
competitiveness go
hand-in-hand The Association for Decentralised
Energy (ADE) and RenewableUK have come together to demonstrate the exciting opportunities that the UK’s transition to low carbon power offers to British industry, by helping companies to reduce their energy costs. In a joint report, 'Industrial competitive- ness in a low carbon world', the trade associations explore how some companies are already varying the amount of electricity they use at certain times of day to match renewable power generation. By being adaptable & flexible in their demand, energy-intensive users can help balance the system in a cost- effective way, get paid for it and increase their competitive edge when operating in a decarbonising global economy. The report also examines the potential
for more companies to participate in flexible arrangements which will drive down network costs and allow them to take advantage of the rise in cheap clean power. This will lead in turn to reductions in household energy bills. In practice, this means increasing
energy consumption in periods of ample generation, and reducing consumption at times of peak demand, or when the capacity of the grid is constrained for technical reasons. This flexibility is key to making British industry more competitive, as well as ensuring that cost-effective decarbonisation from renewable power generation can grow. Consumers benefit too; the National
Infrastructure Commission has suggested that flexibility could lead to reductions in the average household energy bill of £30 to £90 a year by 2030. This can be achieved by reducing the need for net- work upgrades, putting fewer power stations on standby, and using more of our renewable generation output. The ADE’s Director Dr Tim Rotheray said: “ The industrial, commercial and public sector energy sectors account for over half the UK power demand and it is their participation in the flexibility market which will be key in growing the market.”
