Our Energy team shares the details of Constraint Management Zones in the South West.
Flexible Power by Western Power Distribution have published details of 12 Constraint Management Zones (CMZs) that are now open for interest – please click here: www.flexiblepower.co.uk/our-schemes.
- You can use the postcode checker to help you determine if you have a site within these zones. WPD have also provided a new valuation tool to help estimate the possible values available by participating in these zones.
- You must register your interest to ensure you do not miss out.
WPD maintains a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for its demand response requirements:
- The DPS holds records of all potential suppliers that have passed a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to ensure they meet the minimum eligibility criteria.
- The PQQ will also ask for site information which will support WPD’s assessment of zone viability.
- The PQQ does not commit either party to service provision.
- Parties who pass the PQQ stage will be added to the DPS, these parties will receive an Invitation to Tender (ITT) to all of WPDs 2019 Demand Response requirements.
In order to join the DPS, interested parties will be required to first register their interest via WPDs 2019 Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN). All parties who respond to the PIN throughout 2019 will then be asked to complete the PQQ.
Register your interest by responding to the PIN here: https://rfxxp.westernpower.co.uk/ECE
