The UK’s electricity system operator (ESO) will implement a live Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) event tomorrow evening from 4:30 to 6:00 pm.

The initiative aims to address tighter-than-normal electricity supply margins forecasted for Friday evening.

The activation is a precautionary measure to maintain a sufficient spare capacity.

In 2022, the ESO introduced the DFS for the winter period, encouraging households and businesses to adjust their electricity usage during DFS events.

More than 1.6 million participants contributed to balancing the grid during peak times.

An ESO spokesperson said: “Our forecasts show electricity supply margins are expected to be tighter than normal on Friday evening.

“We are activating a live DFS event between 16:30-18.00 tomorrow. It does not mean electricity supplies are at risk and people should not be worried.”
